Mutual recognition
This certificate is consistent with Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) that are included in Appendix C
of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) drawn up by the International Committee for Weights and Measures.
Under the MRA, all participating institutes recognize the validity of each other’s calibration certificates and measure-
ment reports for the quantities, ranges and measurement uncertainties specified in Appendix C (for details see
www.bipm.org).
This document is only valid and reviewable in its electronic form.

Extent of the Calibration

The central length of the gauge blocks were measured according to ISO 3650.

Measurement procedure and conditions

The gauge blocks were supported in horizontal orientation at the Airy points and calibrated on a
length measurement machine with a laser interferometer and mechanical probing.
Measurement probes: Ruby spheres, ø 8 mm
Measurement force: 1N
The temperature of the gauge blocks during the measurements was between 19.96°C and
20.01°C. The measured values were corrected to the reference temperature of 20 °C assuming
a linear coefficient of thermal expansion of 10.8.10-6 K-1.

160045 1000 mm 0.01 µm 0.52 µm

Uncertainty of Measurement
The reported uncertainty of measurement is stated as the combined standard uncertainty multi-
plied by a coverage factor k = 2. The measured value (y) and the associated expanded uncer-
tainty (U) represent the interval (y ± U) which contains the value of the measured quantity with a
probability of approximately 95 %. The uncertainty was estimated following the guidelines of the
ISO (GUM:1995).
The measurement uncertainty contains contributions originating from the measurement stand-
ard, from the calibration method, from the environmental conditions and from the object being
calibrated. The long-term characteristic of the object being calibrated is not included.
