Abstract :
The system for assuring the consistency of electrical measurements is being expanded through key comparisons. The initial process to select key comparisons is consensus by experts. With experience, the process should become more rigorous. Advances in commerce, computing, and analysis as well as market forces may influence future key comparisons.
