INTRODUCTION
Traceability is now considered one of the cornerstones of chemical measurement science. While this concept is increasingly used in a wide variety of sectors, it is still subject to confusion with more "classical" metrological terms such as, for example, accuracy, precision, etc. Traceability implies that measurement data are linked to established references, through an unbroken chain of comparisons. Traceability implies that measurement data are linked to established references, through an unbroken chain of comparisons, each with a defined uncertainty. This article discusses the various elements that make up this chain of connection to references (units, standards, etc.) and hence measurement traceability in the context of environmental chemical analysis.
