Why is traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) crucial for primary measurement standards?

In a three-level hierarchy of measurement standards, what differentiates a 'Secondary Standard' from a 'Working Standard'?

An engineer calibrating a set of micrometers uses a calibrated gauge block set as a reference. The gauge block set has an uncertainty of $\pm 0.00005$ inches, while the required accuracy of the micrometers is $\pm 0.0001$ inches. What principle is being applied, and is it being correctly implemented?

A calibration lab is assessing whether to upgrade its primary standard for voltage measurement from an analog standard cell to a digital voltage standard with significantly lower uncertainty. Which factor should be given the LEAST consideration in this decision?

During an audit of a maintenance organization, an auditor discovers that the calibration certificates for several working standards lack specific information about the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) during calibration. Although the standards are within their calibration period, what is the MOST significant concern regarding this omission?

A technician is using a set of calibrated weights to verify the accuracy of an electronic balance in a measurement lab. The weights are labeled with their nominal mass and a corresponding uncertainty value. When performing the verification, the technician observes that the balance readings consistently deviate from the nominal weight values by an amount slightly larger than the stated uncertainty of the weights. What is the MOST appropriate conclusion?
