Resumo: This article highlights the importance of metrological traceability in clinical diagnoses, highlighting its benefits and impacts on the accuracy of results. Fundamental concepts of metrological traceability will be addressed, as well as its practical application in the health area. Metrological traceability, which is part of the field of metrology, encompasses the ability to establish the link between the measurements performed by an instrument and a reference standard, providing confidence that the measurements are accurate and reliable. In Clinical Engineering, which focuses on healthcare, metrological traceability plays a key role in ensuring compliance of electromedical equipment. From a methodological perspective, this study adopts an exploratory approach, being built and developed based on bibliographic and documentary research. A detailed review of the literature was conducted, using databases such as Google Scholar, Scielo, books, monographs, scientific articles and specialized sites relevant to the topic in question. Data analysis was performed critically, following a qualitative approach.
