For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC Guide 99, ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, ISO 3534-1, ISO 5151, ISO 13253 and ISO 15042 apply.
NOTE The definitions of terms 3.1. 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 are taken from ISOIJEC Guide 99:2007, 2.39, 4.14. 2.53, 4.21 and 4.19, respectively, and they are repeated here for easy reference.
3.1 calibration
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
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.39]
3.2 resolution
smallest change in a quantity being measured that causes a perceptible change in the corresponding indication
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 4.14]
3.3  correction
modification applied to a measured quantity value to compensate for a known systematic effect
[SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.53, modified]
3.4 (instrumental) drift
continuous change in an indication, related neither to a change in the quantity being measured nor to a change of any recognized influence quantity
