PR17: HUMIDITY CALIBRATION SYSTEMS FOR NATIONAL STANDARDS AND INDUSTRY
The validity of measurements made by industrial sensors and instruments is ensured by regular calibration, providing traceability through to a National Standard. In other words, a field sensor must be calibrated against a reference system that itself has an un-broken chain of calibration through to some primary system, such as operated by National Standards laboratories like NPL in the UK, NIST in the USA and PTB in Germany.
