The user of a measurement result is responsible for determining what is adequate to meet his or her own needs. It is the responsibility of the end user of a ‘measurement’ standard to assess the validity of a claim of traceability. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the standard manufacturer to provide the necessary information on the Certificate of Analysis that the user assesses. This mutual interest shared by both parties establishes a greater sense of trust in the quality of the standard. 1. International Standard Organization VIM, 2nd ed., definition 6.10, 1993.
