Measurements are derived from and traceable to the SI system of units through the use of balances calibrated against NPL’s
national standard for mass. The balances used in this process are calibrated on a regular basis with the calibration being
traceable to National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) and other recognised national standards laboratories. This
certificate provides traceability of measurement to recognised national standards, and to units of measurement recognised at
National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) and other recognised national standards laboratories
All temperature measurements are traceable to the International Temperature Scale 1990 and were made using
thermometers with calibrations traceable to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), or other recognised national standards laboratories
Where required Class A laboratory glassware is used.
