Understanding NIST Traceability

When you see the NIST Traceability icon on our chemical products, it signifies that the measurements associated with these products are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This traceability ensures accuracy and reliability in your applications.

What Is NIST?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a U.S. federal agency dedicated to advancing measurement science, standards, and technology. NIST's mission is to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness by enhancing economic security and improving our quality of life.

What Does "NIST Traceable" Mean?

NIST traceability refers to an unbroken chain of calibrations linking a measurement to NIST standards. This chain ensures that measurements are accurate and consistent with national standards. In practical terms, when a chemical product is NIST traceable, its measurements have been calibrated against NIST-maintained standards, ensuring precision and reliability.
