Examples of instruments and equipment used in forensic metrology include breathalyzer s, balances & Weighing scale scales , ruler s, caliper s, Gas chromotographer s, and centrifuge s. Recent attention has been given to forensic metrology and metrological traceability as a result of an international effort to accredit forensic laboratories and criminalistic laboratories to the International Standards Organization ISO 17025 17025 requirements.
