“…NIST provides conceptual and computational tools to facilitate transfer of RMPs and material certification technologies to secondary standards producers and users who wish to develop their own higher-order materials. These include ways of evaluating chemical purity (21,22,(46)(47)(48), estimating measurement uncertainty (40,(49)(50)(51), evaluating bias (52,53), designing and analyzing calibration experiments (54), transferring metrological traceability with minimal increase in measurement uncertainty (55,56), establishing traceability of binary SRM mixtures (57), and demonstrating CRM comparability (58,59).…”
