Description
Enter the quantity being measured. In the area of Length this filed is
called "Class" and specifies the type of artifact under calibration, for
example: "diameter standards", "end standards", "CMM artifacts".
Device under calibration. Item received by the customer
This field may be used to further specify the type of instrument to be
calibrated or the calibration method
The measurement range can be expressed explicitly or implicitly
(i.e. through a range of parameters) but never with a reference to
other services. Implicit specifications must provide enough
information in the parameters section so as to indicate the range of
validity of the uncertainty statement.
The organization that is responsible for the CMC declaration. Use the
official abbreviation for the NMI or Designated Service Provider.
