ABSTRACT

It is a fundamental requirement that the results of all accredited calibrations and the results of all calibrations required to support accredited tests shall be traceable to national and international standards of measurement. The NIST Handbook 150 (and ISO=IEC 17025) details the specific requirements for traceability to be met by testing and calibration laboratories. This annex provides guidance as to how these requirements may be met and how traceability of measurement can be assured by an accredited laboratory.
