Some nations only recognize calibration laboratories that are accredited as providing traceable measurement results. There are alternatives in nations such as the United States, since the number of accredited calibration laboratories lag the need. If there are no accredited laboratories providing the calibration services needed, accredited testing and calibration laboratories can obtain calibration services from non-accredited laboratories. However, the non-accredited laboratory will be challenged to validate its claims of traceable measurements to its accredited testing and calibration laboratory clients. This paper will describe what laboratories need to provide to their clients as evidence that their measurement results are traceable. It will also describe what evidence laboratories that need to make sure that their measurement results are traceable must collect from their non-accredited calibration service providers.
