Founded in 1901, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was created to help instill acceptable guidelines in regards to measurement, standards, and technology that improves development. A device with a NIST traceable calibration will have measurements that:
- Meet NIST maintained standards
- Documented uncertainties for each step in the chain
- QA in place to maintain measurement uncertainty
NIST Traceability
Proper calibration is ultimately left to the end-user since NIST doesn’t monitor traceability. Nevertheless, there are multiple ways to determine traceability since most manufacturers provide information for the following:
- Specified calibration uncertainties
- Records of their calibration procedures and processes
- Lab accreditation with guarantee that qualified assessors have looked at a lab’s traceability procedures
- Traceability documentation
Digital devices such as Infrared sensors, RTDs, and thermocouples accuracy can be verified with NIST traceability.
