The Congress, in Senate Report 94-328 (PL 94-121), directed the National Bureau of Standards “to embark upon a study of the economic effect of corrosion.” Initially, NBS concluded that the essential elements of such a study were to:

  • Review previous attempts to assess metallic corrosion costs;

  • Develop a detailed plan including definitions and methods for acquiring, analyzing and reporting data;

  • Expose the study plan to criticism by experts in corrosion and economics from industry and Government; and

  • Elicit cooperation from industries and Government agencies which use corrodible equipment, including vehicles and structures.
