Purpose
The national laboratories have are responsible for maintaining the national reference standards for each measurement quantity and spreading metrological competence and traceability to industry and society at large. The national reference standards are the highest level of traceability in Sweden.
A calibration performed at a national laboratory fulfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large.
Method
The appropriate calibration method is selected in consideration of of the size, design and use of the volume vessel. It often involves gravimetric calibration for smaller volumes, i.e. weighing a liquid with known density. Larger volumes are normally calibrated volumetrically, e.g. by filling from a volume standard with a known volume.
Deliveries
The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory.
