2 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
In the statement of CMC, CF stands for calibration factor.
4 In the statement of CMC, percentage are percentages of reading.
5 The stated measured values are determined using the indicated instrument (see Comments). This capability
is suitable for the calibration of the devices intended to measure or generate the measured value in the
ranges indicated. CMC’s are expressed as either a specific value that covers the full range or as a percent
or fraction of the reading plus a fixed floor specification.
6
In the statement of CMC, VSWR refers to Voltage Standing Wave Ratio.
7 The type of instrument or material being calibrated is defined by the parameter. This indicates the
laboratory is capable of calibrating instruments that measure or generate the values in the ranges indicated
for the listed measurement parameter.

Ranges are reproduced from the accredited scope document as published, and only where we found that range printed in the document for the line. Otherwise the cell reads “See scope document”. An absent range means the register did not state one. Line numbers are ours, for cross-reference; they follow the order of the scope document.
