Proceedings of the Measurement Science Conference, Pasedena CA; 7p. January 1994. Abstract:
The national measurement system concerns the relationships between individual measurements and the specific units of measure. In some cases, gage blocks for example, there are standards, a large body of scientific research, and considerable effort taken to trace the accuracy of blocks used in manufacturing back to the unit of length. The international trend to laboratory accreditation (NVLAP, NAMAS, etc.) is a formalization of the idea of assuring measurement accuracy by assessment of laboratory practice and evaluation of a measurement system's relation to the unit of length. |
