Reference examination standard

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010064",
  "term": "Reference examination standard",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A standard designated for calibrating other standards that examine nominal properties of one kind, within a single organization or at one site. A nominal property is qualitative, such as a blood group or a bacterial species, so the standard carries a nominal property value rather than a numerical quantity value with an uncertainty. It is the qualitative counterpart of a reference measurement standard.",
