Charter
Classification and designation of surfaces according to quality of surface.

The B46 Committee generally meets in April and October for one to two days in various locations around the country. Its meetings consist of a half day to a full day of Project Team meetings and one three hour session of the B46 Standards Committee meeting.  The Committee works on writing Standards for new or emerging technology in the field of Surface Texture metrology, revising the current B46.1 Standard, and providing for the coordination of National and International Standards. The B46 Committee operates under procedures meeting the criteria for American National Standards.
