Note 1 A calibration may be expressed by a statement, calibration function, calibration diagram, calibration curve, or calibration table. In some cases, it may consist of an additive or multiplicative correction of the indication with associated measurement uncertainty.
Note 2 Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system, often mistakenly called “self-calibration”, nor with verification of calibration.
Note 3 Often, the first step alone in the above definition is perceived as being calibration.

adjustment of a measuring system wird hier als verwandte relation aufgelistet, da es ein bekannter Fehler ist. Je nach Use Case, in welchem dieser Thesaurus verwendet wird, sollte die Verbindung in den internen Thesaurus zur Nicht-Äquivalenz umpositioniert werden.
operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication
