6. NIST Traceable Refractometer Calibrations.................................................................................................. |
|
|
The MISCO Certified Calibration program provides all the requirements for the confirmation of calibration accuracies for handheld refractometers and Abbe refractometers, and for the preparation and control of certified traceable measurement standards. The intention of this program is to minimize uncertainty of measurements and minimize the risk of refractometers producing results having unacceptable errors. Further, this program provides compliance with International Standard ISO 9000, ISO 10012-1:1992(E) and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994. |
