Hi

At least the way I read the pdf's NIST seems to believe that GPS is legally traceable to 
NIST. It is the same "measure and then look up the data" sort of thing that 
LORAN used to be.  Took a while to read through them all…

However, just taking time from GPS does not achieve NIST traceability.
The NIST folks will point it out too.

You can achieve NIST traceability (or to any other NIH) if you do a whole bunch of things _right_ and in accordance with relevant standards. Few do.

Cheers,

How are those of you dealing with traceability in the commercial space

The topic is known as "legal metrology."  Start here:

<http://www.nist.gov/traceability/nist_traceability_policy_external.cfm>

You need to click through lots of links to get the whole picture.  I believe 
the material is printed in the NIST Administrative Manual.

Other potentially helpful links:
