Abstract
The Laboratory for Precise Measurement of Length, which is at the same time the Croatian National Laboratory for Length (in text Laboratory) takes part in CIPM MRA (Comité International des Poids et Mesures, Mutual Recognition Arrangement) comparisons of length standards, which include line scales as very important standards of length. When the results reported in the comparisons, it is necessary to state the estimated measurement uncertainty. Recently, the Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) have been increasingly applied in the field of estimation measurement uncertainties. The paper presents validation of the realised measurement uncertainty by GUM method in process of precise line scales calibration using the MCS method. The MCS method is based on random number generation from the probability density functions for each input value and forming of experimental probability density function of the output value. Also, the paper presents obtained results of the international comparison measurement which representing a real validation of the device and evaluated measurement uncertainty.
