What is calibration uncertainty?

Home » FAQ » What is calibration uncertainty?

Calibration uncertainty describes the amount of doubt associated with a calibration measurement result. It represents the possible variation around the measured value and helps determine how reliable the calibration result is.

Measurement uncertainty is an important part of calibration because it helps organizations understand the accuracy of their measurements and make informed decisions about instrument performance.

Considering uncertainty is essential when evaluating calibration results, selecting reference standards, and ensuring measurement traceability.
