Protocols for traceability in chemical analysis

Part I: Definitions and terminology

  • Chapter
Traceability in Chemical Measurement

  • 1054 Accesses

Abstract

The authors propose definitions and terminology for protocols on traceability links, generally to the international system of units, for specific chemical-analytical measurements in accordance with recognized principles of science. These definitions and terms could be useful in science, technology, commerce or law. A chain of such links leads from a measurand in a sample up to a unit in the International System of Units or, if unavailable, to a value on an internationally recognized measurement scale. The quality of such a chain is quantified by combining all recognized uncertainties estimated for all its links. These uncertainties of the measured values arise from many potential error sources. The protocols should give details of specific uses of reference materials, measuring instruments and standard measurement methods.
