Reliable, comparable and accurate measurement results are only achieved by having traceability to recognized primary standards. Scientific and technological progress demand for and rely on developments in already established fields of metrology, such as mass, and in new evolving fields, such as aerosol particles, where the traceability is incomplete. In this thesis, a novel device called single charged aerosol reference (SCAR) invented by Tampere University of Technology (TUT) was developed into a primary standard for particle number concentration. For this, a full metrological validation was performed for determining the uncertainty of generated particle number concentration.
