CALIBRATION
Set of operations that establish, under
specified conditions, the relationship
between values of quantities indicated
by a measuring instrument or
measuring system, or values
represented by a material measure or
a reference material, and the
corresponding values realized by
standards (VIM 6.11)

TRACEABILITY
Traceability means
the ability to relate

systems through an
unbroken chain of

MEASUREMENT
UNCERTAINTY
The uncertainty of measurement is a
parameter, associated with the
result of a measurement, that
characterizes the dispersion of the
values that could reasonably be
attributed to the measurand (VIM
3.9)

UNCERTAINTY
expanded uncertainty of
measurement U is obtained by
multiplying the standard uncertainty
u(y) of the output estimate y by a
coverage factor k
U = ku(y)
6. REPORTED MU
The measured value of the 10 kg weight is
10 000.025 g 0.049 g
The reported expanded uncertainty is
based on a standard uncertainty
multiplied by a coverage factor k = 2,
providing a coverage probability of
approximately 95%. The uncertainty
evaluation has been carried out in
accordance with UKAS requirements.
