About NIST

NIST, short for National Institute of Standards and Technology and formerly the National Bureau of Standards, is the measurement standards laboratory of the United States. It is a federal research institute operating under the United States Department of Commerce. The agency was established in 1901 and is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Its official website is https://www.nist.gov/.
This status page tracks reported problems with NIST services, including the website, the app, and the login system. When visitors report trouble, the reports appear here in near real time. You can use this page to see whether an issue is widespread or limited to your own setup. Reports are gathered from users, so short spikes may reflect isolated problems rather than a full outage.
NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is the United States measurement standards laboratory. It operates under the Department of Commerce and provides official time, standards data, publications, and research resources through its website at nist.gov. The services monitored here are the website, the app, and the login system. Typical problems include slow page loads, failed downloads of publications or data, and login sessions that time out or reject valid credentials. Heavy traffic after a major announcement can also make parts of the site feel unresponsive. Before reporting an issue, try a few basics. Refresh the page or restart the app. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then sign in again. If login fails, confirm your credentials on a different device or network. A blocked work network or an outdated app version can cause errors that look like an outage but are not.

Questions

Is NIST down right now?

According to reports on this page, NIST looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for NIST yet.

Why can I load the NIST homepage but not sign in?

The website and the login system run on separate infrastructure. A login failure with normal page loads often points to an authentication problem rather than a full outage. Clear your cookies, try a private browsing window, and check whether your organization blocks access to the authentication domain.

My reports show connection errors, but the site works for a colleague. What should I check?

First compare networks. A corporate firewall, VPN, or DNS filter can block parts of nist.gov while leaving the rest reachable. Try a mobile connection without the VPN. If the app is the problem, update it to the latest version, since older builds can fail after server-side changes.
