Report Endorsements

MSL calibration test or verification reports are issued under the Measurement Standards Act 1992 and the National Standards Regulations 1976 (Amendment No. 1, 1992). They are also clearly marked to show additional formal endorsement of their validity by other parties...more >>

The uncertainty statements of all MSL reports follow the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, JGM 100:2008 (GUM 1995 with minor corrections). We have produced some guidelines to assist in making the best use of our calibration certificates and to help you understand the meaning of the uncertainty statements used.
