Direct answer
Calibration, in this definition, is limited to the following inspected scope. The note distinguishes Type A and Type B evaluations, standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, uncertainty components, and reporting requirements. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Definition
Use the term only for the source-backed scope stated here; keep adjacent concepts separate unless a typed relationship is explicit.
A useful definition states both inclusion and exclusion conditions so a machine answer cannot silently widen it.
Applied scope: The note distinguishes Type A and Type B evaluations, standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, uncertainty components, and reporting requirements.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.
Evidence and exact locators
Guidelines for Evaluating and Expressing the Uncertainty of NIST Measurement Results — §§2–7; Appendix A; Appendix D.1. Establishes: The note distinguishes Type A and Type B evaluations, standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, uncertainty components, and reporting requirements.
What the evidence does not establish
An uncertainty budget does not prove that a model or calibration is correct, identify every systematic effect, validate an input source, or validate astrology.
This route must not claim sales copy.
This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.

Questions this page can answer
What does Calibration mean in this bounded context?
Calibration, in this definition, is limited to the following inspected scope. The note distinguishes Type A and Type B evaluations, standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, uncertainty components, and reporting requirements. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this definition answer?
Guidelines for Evaluating and Expressing the Uncertainty of NIST Measurement Results (NIST Technical Note 1297, 1994 edition), at §§2–7; Appendix A; Appendix D.1, supports the note distinguishes Type A and Type B evaluations, standard uncertainty, combined standard uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, uncertainty components, and reporting requirements.
What does the evidence not establish?
An uncertainty budget does not prove that a model or calibration is correct, identify every systematic effect, validate an input source, or validate astrology. Property boundary: This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-research definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
