metrological traceability

Metrological traceability refers to the process of ensuring that measurement results can be related back to a recognized standard through an unbroken chain of comparisons. This chain guarantees that measurements are accurate and consistent over time, from the tools used in labs to national and international standards. Essentially, it provides confidence that a measurement is precise and comparable regardless of where or when it was taken, establishing trust and reliability in measurement results across different settings and applications.
