Introduction
Metrology definition: 1. International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) the science of measurement, embracing both experiment and theoretical determinations at any level of uncertainty in any field of Science and Technology. 2. International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) Science of Measurement that concerns units, instruments & method performed by competent bodies. 3. Generally defined as Science of Measurement.

Introduction
Metrology may be divided into 3 subfields: Scientific or fundamental metrology
concerns the establishment of measurement units, new measurement methods, th d measurement t standards t d d and d the th transfer t f of f traceability* t bilit * identification from these standards to users in society.
Legal metrology
concerns regulation of measurements and instruments for the protection of health, public safety, the environment, enabling taxation & consumers

Traceability Calibration
Traceability y is a characteristic of a calibration or a measurement. A basic tool in ensuring the traceability of a measurement is the calibration of a measuring instrument or reference material. material Calibration determines the performance characteristics of an instrument or reference material. It is achieved by means of a direct comparison against measurement standards d d or certified ifi d reference f materials.A i l calibration certificate is issued and in most cases, a sticker is attached to the calibration instrument.
Threemainreasonsforhavinganinstrumentcalibrated: 1 To 1. T ensurereadings di from f the th i instrument t tareconsistent i t twith ithother th measurements. 2. Todeterminetheaccuracyoftheinstrumentreadings. 3. Toestablishthereliabilityoftheinstrumenti.e.thatitcanbetrusted.
