Article Abstract:
The standard for accreditation bodies requires each accredited job to publish a document that listed each parameter the lab can calibrate together with the range of values that can be dealt with and a specialized statement of uncertainty called the best measurement capability (BMC). The uncertainty might be important when the customer uses the instrument but the calibration laboratory does not have any control over the environment to which it is applied.
