| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Drift rate | Drift rate = (x2 - x1)/Δt, describing slow change of a metrological property over time | JCGM 200:2012, International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM) |
| Stability | The ability of a measuring instrument to keep its metrological properties constant over time | JCGM 200:2012, International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM) |
| Use in intermediate checks | Drift is monitored between calibrations to verify the instrument stays within limits | ISO/IEC 17025:2017, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories |
| Units | Commonly expressed per hour, per year, or as a percentage per year | JCGM 200:2012, International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM) |
