What is calibration and what is its importance? Calibration is defined as an association between measurements â one of a scale or accuracy made or set with one piece of equipment and another measurement made in as similar a way as possible with a second piece of equipment.
NIST traceable calibration is an assurance program that certifies that a laboratory or manufacturer is fully equipped to calibrate equipment to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and that any products offered by that manufacturer will match those NIST-maintained measurement standards.ith NIST traceable calibration, any measurements taken with a certified thermometer will have: 1  An unbroken chain of measurements that leads back to NIST maintained standards. 2  Known and documented uncertainties for each step in the chain.
