Is a general statement that the gages have been manufactured and are in conformance to the applicable gage specification. The Certificate of Compliance states that the gages have been manufactured and inspected by highly trained personnel and found to comply with the dimensions and tolerances specified. The Certificate of Compliance states that the primary reference standards for the gage calibration are traceable to System International (S.I.) units through the N.I.S. T - National Institute of Standards and Technology. The N.I.S.T. number referenced on this cert is being phased out by the requirements of A2LA.
