German term (edited): Rückführung auf nationale Normale

In Kalibrierscheinen wird „Rückführung auf nationale Normale“ regelmäßig mit „traceability to the national standards“ übersetzt, obwohl „traceability“ eigentlich „Rückverfolgbarkeit“ bedeutet.

en traceability
property of the result of a measurement or of the value of a standard such that it can be related to stated references, usually national or international standards, through an unbroken chain of comparisons all having stated uncertainties
Note 1 – The concept is often expressed by the adjective traceable.
Note 2 – The unbroken chain of comparisons is called a traceability chain.
Note 3 – In French, the way in which the relationship with the standards is determined is called "raccordement aux étalons".

Organisationsstruktur zur Rückführung von Impulsspannungs-Meßsystemen auf nationale Normale in Deutschland
Calibration system to establish traceability of impulse voltage measuring systems to national standards in Germany
:
Die Firma DR. STRAUSS GMBH ist somit das erste Unternehmen, welches Impulskalibrier- und Messeinrichtungen für Stoßspannungs- und Stoßstromprüfungen rückführbar auf nationale Normale kalibrieren darf und hierfür Kalibrierscheine ausstellt, die innerhalb der WECC in ganz Europa anerkannt werden.
DR. STRAUSS GMBH therefore is the first company, which may calibrate impulse measuring and calibration systems for high voltage impulse tests with traceability to national standards and issues calibration certificates recognized inside the WECC in Europe.

Metrology is a very broad field and may be divided into three basic activities, though there is considerable overlap between the activities:[3][4]
• Definition of internationally accepted units of measurement.
• Realisation of these units of measurement in practice
• Application of chains of traceability linking measurements made in practice to reference standards.
:
Traceability is most often obtained by calibration, establishing the relation between the indication of a measuring instrument and the value of a measurement standard. These standards are usually coordinated by national metrological institutes: National Institute of Standards and Technology; National Physical Laboratory, UK; Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt; etc.
:
Every state maintains its own weights and measures functionality with traceability to the national standards maintained by NIST.

Below a short survey for the term “traceability to the national standards” (12.400 Ghits, and 13.900 Ghits for "traceability to national standards", randomly collected). Most articles are from native speakers.

1.1 Legal requirements for traceability
State laws require State primary standards to maintain traceability to the national standards in the possession of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

7.1 Accreditation systems for legal metrology, calibration and testing laboratories. Traceability to national, regional, international or foreign measurement standards

What is Traceability?
Traceability can be defined as an unbroken record of documentation ("documentation traceability") or an unbroken chain of measurements and associated uncertainties ("metrological traceability"). As used here, the word "traceability" always means "metrological traceability."

(NIST, USA, 2011)

The most common way to relate industrial calibration measurements to the national standards is to have the local reference standards calibrated in a way that provides traceability to the national standards.
(NIST, USA, 1983)

The term "traceability to NBS" or "traceability to the national standards" is being used more frequently. Several examples include: Federal and state regulations, voluntary standards such as those published by the American National Standards Institute ….

The Food and Drug Administration maintains an X-ray Calibration Facility to calibrate instruments that inspectors use to verify compliance with the Radiation Control Health and Safety Act (RCHSA) and the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). To maintain a strong traceability to the national standards and to provide creditability to the calibrations, the Calibration Laboratory is accredited by NVLAP.

Metrologists are required to complete the traceability chain by stating the uncertainty of their measurements with respect to a National Metrology Institute (NMI). The NMI is required to show traceability to the International System (SI) of units maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). Traceability is often a legal or contractual requirement, and its importance to quality control systems cannot be overstated. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Guide 25 lists the requirements for competence of calibration and testing laboratories. Section 9.2 of Guide 25 states:
The overall programme of calibration and/or verification and validation of equipment shall be designed and operated so as to ensure that, wherever applicable, measurements made by the laboratory are traceable to national standards of measurement, where available. Calibration certificates shall wherever applicable indicate the traceability to national standards of measurement and shall provide the measurement results and associated uncertainty of measurement and/or a statement of compliance with an identified metrological specification.

(a) Level 1: A calibration carried out by a laboratory accredited by UKAS for the measurements concerned and for which a UKAS calibration certificate is issued.
Certificates from other calibration bodies may be acceptable provided that full traceability to national standards is demonstrated.

Traceability
Metrological traceability means that a measurement result can be linked to the SI units through an unbroken chain of calibrations and that the measurement uncertainty for each step of the chain must be known.
In the area of legal metrology the measurement systems in industry are kept under regular surveillance by Justervesenets verification offices which have traceability of their instruments to the national standards. The companies obtain a verification that their instruments give results within accepted tolerances.
In the voluntary area industry and service-providing companies and authorities must establish traceability to the national standards by calibrating their standards and instruments at Justervesenet´s National Metrology Laboratory or at an accredited calibration laboratory. The calibration is documented by a calibration certificate, giving the calibration value (deviation from correct value) and the associated measurement uncertainty.

There are 4 regional laboratories, ten state level laboratories and 2 high precision calibration centre's at Delhi and Bangaluru. The STQC laboratories are equipped with the state of the art calibrating facilities. These laboratories serve as support hierarchy in establishing traceability to the National Standards through their calibration services to electronic & allied industries for electro technical and non-electrical parameters

Section 10 of the National Measurement Act establishes the requirement for legal traceability to the national standards of measurement. Legal traceability is demonstrated through Regulation 80 Certificates issued by Verifying Authorities. CSIRO and its agents through their calibration services provide metrological traceability to the national standards of measurements. Where legal traceability is required a Regulation 80 Certificate should be issued.

• In addition, measurements also required to demonstrate traceability to the national standards.

7.2 The certification bodies require the certified factories to have traceability to the national standards. Whenever certification is carried out, the metrology service is called upon for assistance, and the factories make use of instrument regulations developed by CSBTS.
