Abstract
Practical ways to establish traceability in chemical measurements are examined to understand such diversified field measurements, which cover all principles of chemical and other measurements, and are considered to be applicable to measurements of materials properties in general. A description is given of several initiatives in Mexico to establish a comparable measurement and calibration capability and dissemination scheme. Additional efforts for establishing traceability in field measurements are described in order to achieve traceable measurements harmonized with other countries, with particular emphasis on the accreditation of analytical laboratories based on their technical competence.
