Masters can be quantified either by using outside firms that have calibrated specialized measuring devices or by getting mutual agreement between the supplier and customer (Figure 9-1).

The reason the gauge error includes the ± accuracy is that the tolerance, which is the reference, also includes the ± variation from process center.
