Calibration standards for analytical instruments are used to ensure the reliability of their results. Many industries, like gas and oil and biotechnology, rely on these measurements to ensure that their products are safe to use and customers are protected.
To create a precise calibration standard, the standard must be compared to either a primary standard or an already certified standard that has been compared to a primary standard. These comparisons of different standards create a “chain of traceability” back to the International System of Units (SI).
Calibration standards are the main focus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Created in 1901, NIST is a National Metrology Institute (NMI). Its purpose is to create measurement frameworks and architectures that can be relied upon for their accuracy. Instruments calibrated using these frame
