It is accompanied by a stated amount of uncertainty, called accuracy. Calibration Laboratory A Laboratory which measures, examines, calibrates or otherwise determines the characteristic or performance of Standard or instrument. (ISO Guide 2 Proposed Revision) Laboratory Accreditation System A system having its own rules or procedure and management for carrying out laboratory accredication. Accrediting Body A Government authority responsible for grant, renewal and withdrawal of accreditation. Accredited Laboratory A calibration laboratory to which accrediation has been granted.
