| traceability chain | |||
| Sequence of measurement standards and calibrations that is used to relate a measurement result to a reference. | |||
| Note 1: | A metrological traceability chain is defined through a calibration hierarchy. | ||
| Note 2: | A metrological traceability chain is used to establish metrological traceability of a measurement result. | ||
| Note 3: | A comparison between two measurement standards may be viewed as a calibration if the comparison is used to check and, if necessary, correct the quantity value and measurement uncertainty attributed to one of the measurement standards. | ||
