Abstract

This publication provides guidelines for evaluating data from advanced mass calibrations and for establishing measurement assurance programs in precision mass calibration laboratories. The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) uses these guidelines when evaluating advanced mass calibration data for State laboratories that request technical support, recognition, and/or NVLAP accreditation.
