4.4: Calibration References & Standards<br />

What are standards?<br />

Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications or<br />

other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or<br />

definitions of characteristics, in order to ensure that materials, products,<br />

processes, and services are fit <strong>for</strong> their purpose.<br />

For example, the <strong>for</strong>mat of the credit cards, phone cards, and "smart" cards<br />

that have become commonplace is derived from an ISO International<br />

Standard. Adhering to the standard, which defines such features as an<br />

optimal thickness (0.76 mm), means that the cards can be used worldwide.
