A study on traceability of force measurement of calibration laboratory in Indonesia

A study on the traceability of force measurements in calibration laboratories in Indonesia has been carried out. The data was collected from Indonesian National Accreditation Committee (KAN) database, according to the Calibration Measurement Capability (CMC) list for force measurements from accredited calibration laboratories until October 2020. The study started from the CMC SNSU-BSN and continued to the CMC of each accredited calibration laboratory to seek traceability. The results showed that all accredited laboratories have traceability to SNSU-BSN, either directly connected or through one or two calibration laboratories. Because each laboratory has a different expression on their CMCs, this creates different perceptions of CMC. Based on this traceability analysis, it is possible to recommend the best way to express CMC or even standardize it, mainly on force measurements.
