Calibration Set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference material and the corresponding values realised by standards. |
Calibration certificate Result(s) of a calibration can be registered in a document sometimes called a calibration certificate or a calibration report. |
Calibration history, measuring equipment Complete registration of the results from the calibration of a piece of measuring equipment, or measuring artefact, over a long period of time, to enable the evaluation of the long-term stability of the piece of equipment or the measuring artefact. |
Calibration interval Time interval between two consecutive calibrations of a measuring instrument. |
Calibration report Result(s) of a calibration can be registered in a document sometimes called a calibration certificate or a calibration report. |

Conformity assessment An activity that provides demonstration that specified requirements relating to a product, process, system, person or body are fulfilled, i.e. testing, inspection, certification of products, personnel and management systems. |
Conventional true value (of a quantity) Value attributed to a particular quantity and accepted, sometimes by convention, as having an uncertainty appropriate for a given purpose. Sometimes called “assigned value”, “best estimate of the value”, “conventional value”, or “reference value”. |
COOMET Euro-Asian cooperation of national metrological institutions. |
Correction factor Factor by which the uncorrected measuring result is multiplied to compensate for a systematic error. |
Correction value Value which added algebraically to the uncorrected result of a measurement compensates for a systematic error. |
