Abstract
Have you heard about the traceability of measurements or measuring instruments? The CSIR-NPL provides traceability for most of the measurement devices in India. It is also clearly spelled out in the several regulatory documents as a requirement of national measurement traceability. In this article, the authors describe the concept of metrological traceability and its relevance in the simplest words.
