What is Traceability?
Traceability requires the establishment of an unbroken chain of comparisons to stated references. NIST assures the traceability of results of measurements or values of standards that NIST itself provides, either directly or through an official NIST program or collaboration. Other organizations are responsible for establishing the traceability of their own results or values to those of NIST or other stated references. Further information on the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Traceability is available at http://ts.nist.gov/Traceability.
