Metrological Traceability in Chemical Measurement - 2nd Edition (2019)

Contents

TrcFig2ttl 366x215This Guide gives detailed guidance for the establishment of metrological traceability in quantitative chemical analysis, based on the definition in the international vocabulary of basic and general terms in metrology (VIM). Though it is aimed principally at testing and measurement laboratories carrying out chemical measurement, the principles are expected to apply from routine analysis to basic research. The document is intended to assist laboratories in meeting the requirements on traceability of results given in ISO/IEC 17025.

This second edition amends the Guide to reflect revised terminology introduced in the third edition of the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM). Detailed discussion of the VIM terminology can be found in the Eurachem Guide “Terminology in Analytical Measurement: Introduction to VIM 3”.
