Components of a Calibration Certificate

Accuracy

Of course the most important question to be asked is: How accurate are my measurements? This can be determined by analyzing the results on the calibration certificate or data report.

Again, the actual results given on the certificate or data report may vary both in specific values and also in formats, but generally the value of a standard is shown and the result obtained when using the instrument to measure that standard is given. (Obviously this applies to measuring instruments. Certificates for instruments that source a value will give the nominal value of the instrument, along with the value measured by the standard measuring instrument).
