An international system for providing traceability for the results from physical measurements has been under continuous development since the introduction of the Convention of the Metre over 100 years ago. Such a system has only been in existence for chemical measurements for about a decade and there is much that can be learnt from the way in which traceability has developed in physical measurements that will help its development for chemical measurements. First a number of myths that have grown up about the differences between these are examined. This is followed by a description of examples from physical measurements, which have important lessons for the ways in which traceability for the results of chemical measurements can be established. © 2005 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
