Traceability Statement
The artifact(s) described in this report have been compared to the Standards of the State of Washington. The
Standards of the State of Washington are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
and are part of a comprehensive measurement assurance program for ensuring continued accuracy and
measurement traceability within the level of uncertainty reported by this laboratory. The International System
of Units (SI) for mass is the kilogram (kg) (see Conversion Factors on page 3). The report number for this report
is the only unique report number to be used in referencing measurement traceability for the artifact(s)
described in this report.

Uncertainty Statement
The combined standard uncertainty includes uncertainties reported for the standard, uncertainties associated
with the measurement process, uncertainties for any observed deviations from reference values which are less
than surveillance limits, and other uncertainties associated with the particular artifact (i.e., material density,
air buoyancy corrections, etc.). The combined standard uncertainty is multiplied by a coverage factor, k, to give
the expanded uncertainty, which defines an interval with a 95.45 % level of confidence. The expanded
uncertainty presented in this report is consistent with NIST Technical Note 1297. Surface Roughness and
Magnetic testing has not been performed, therefore, there are no components for the effects of either in the
uncertainty budget.

Pertinent Information
● In-accordance-with ISO/IEC FDIS 17025, General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration
Laboratories, paragraph 5.10.4.4 ‘A calibration certificate (or calibration label) shall not contain any
recommendation on the calibration interval except where this has been agreed with the client. This
requirement may be superseded by legal regulations.’

● In-accordance-with Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 16-663, Service Agents -- Reporting, Test
Procedures, Standards And Calibration Of Weighing And Measuring Devices, Section 16-663-130, Adequacy of
standards and submission of standards for certification, paragraph 2, ‘… All standards used for servicing,
repairing and/or calibrating commercial weighing and measuring devices must be submitted at least every two
years for examination and certification…’

● The artifact(s) listed above have been found and/or left within the maximum permissible error for the
specification stated above, except as noted. An artifact is considered in-compliance when the correction plus
the measurement uncertainty is equal to or less than the maximum permissible error. RED print indicates an out-
of-compliance reading.

● “Conventional Mass” (CM), also known as ‘apparent mass”, values stated in this report correlate to a scale
verses 8.0 g/cm³ reference mass density and an air density of 1.2 mg/cm³ at 20 ºC. "True mass" values are based
on an explicit treatment of displacement volumes.

● All corrections stated in this report correlate to a “Conventional Mass” (CM), also known as ‘apparent mass”,
scale verses 8.0 g/cm³ reference mass density and an air density of 1.2 mg/cm3 at 20 ºC.
● The results listed in this report relate only to the artifacts described and extent of calibrations performed.
