Description
Summary:This paper considers the present-day approach to the calibration process. Various definitions and terminology applied to measurements in analytical chemistry are not always consistent and straightforward. The terms referring to calibration, such as types of calibration, calibrants, validation, uncertainty of reference materials, and calibration process, are here explained and discussed. The establishing of traceability through the calibration process is also considered. This work has been financially supported by the Polish State Committee on Scientific Research (KBN) and UE grants (VI-RM and QUA-NAS).
