Sensor and source calibration has always been a challenge for scientists and engineers. The obvious way to perform this task is to use comparison and check your sensor or your source against a known, calibrated, better one. But this method reaches a limit, because, at some stage in the sequence, no better sensor or source for comparison exists, and you reach the end of the "better-standard" line.
