Abstract

In 1974, the National Bureau of Standards established a Center for Consumer Product Technology to conduct product safety and product performance research. The Center's Human Factors Section operates a laboratory which is used for consumer product studies. While much of the Laboratory's equipment and instrumentation is fairly typical of other human factors laboratories, its configuration and application at NBS is unique. A study of cooking ranges is presented to illustrate how the facility is being used.
