accredited laboratory? Standards, traceable to a recog-
nized organization, are helpful in demonstrating and
proving a measurement device is working correctly and
providing trustworthy readings.
The bottom line, or the moral, for this is story is to
look beyond a simple "accuracy" specification and also
look to a gage's trueness and repeatability specifica-
tions as important criteria in comparing measurement
systems. Another factor in measurement performance is
the quality, tolerance and traceability of the corrective
calibration standards used for gage adjustment.
