Calibration and Measurement Capability Uncertainty (CMC) is the smallest uncertainty of measurement
that a laboratory can achieve within its scope of accreditation when performing more or less routine
calibrations of nearly ideal measurement standards or nearly ideal measuring equipment. CMCs represent
expanded uncertainties expressed at approximately the 95 % level of confidence, usually using a coverage
factor of k = 2. The actual measurement uncertainty of a specific calibration performed by the laboratory
may be greater than the CMC due to the behavior of the customer’s device and to influences from the
circumstances of the specific calibration.
3
This laboratory performs field calibration activities for these parameters. Please note the actual
measurement uncertainties achievable on a customer's site can normally be expected to be larger than the
CMC found on the A2LA Scope. Allowance must be made for aspects such as the environment at the
place of calibration and for other possible adverse effects such as those caused by transportation of the
calibration equipment. The usual allowance for the actual uncertainty introduced by the item being
calibrated, (e.g. resolution) must also be considered and this, on its own, could result in the actual
measurement uncertainty achievable on a customer’s site being larger than the CMC.
4
In the statement of CMC, L is the numerical value of the nominal length of the device measured in mm
and IV is the Indicated Value.
