10.1.3. RECOMMENDED STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING TRACEABILITY 

To assure data of desired quality, two considerations are essential:  

  The measurement process must be in statistical control at the time of the 

measurement. 

  The systematic errors, when combined with the random variation in the 

measurement process, must result in a suitably small uncertainty. 

Evidence of good quality data includes documentation of the quality control checks and 
the independent audits of the measurement process by recording data on specific forms 
or on a quality control chart and by using materials, instruments, and measurement 
procedures that can be traced to appropriate standards of reference.  

To establish traceability, data must be obtained routinely by repeat measurements of 
standard reference samples (primary, secondary and/or working standards).  More 
specifically, working calibration standards must be traceable to standards of higher 
accuracy, such as those listed in Table 3-12. 

Cylinders of working gas traceable to NIST-SRMs (called EPA Protocol Calibration 
Gas) are also commercially available (from sources such as Scott Specialty Gases, etc.).  
See Table 3-12 for a list of appropriate SRMs.
