NB
An acronym commonly used to refer to national standardization bodies that act on behalf of national governments in the preparation, adoption, and maintenance of technical regulations, international standards, and conformity assessment procedures developed pursuant to the requirements of the ATBT. In most nations that are ATBT members, NBs are units of government. However, some nations such as the U.S. have delegated such responsibilities to private industry consortia.See also: standard
