Measurement stability (stability)
Property of a measuring device according to which its metrological characteristics remain accurate over time.
Note: Measurement stability can be quantified in various ways as:
Example 1: The duration of a time interval over which a metrological property changes by a given amount.
Example 2: Change of a property over a given time interval.
Information: The verification of the measurement stability is demonstrated by continuous monitoring of the measurement process capability.
