The kind of standardization that you insist is the standard throughout all scientific research is in fact only possible in industry and only applicable to laboratory technicians and some engineers, not original researchers.
"In the science world, all measurable data is supposed to be validated by a Metrology Calibrated Standard of some form or another (MCS)."
That just is not true! Which of the existing weights and measures would you apply to ancient temperatures?

"In the field I work in, all data sets are ultimately validated by MCSs that are directly traceable to the Government's Nation (sic) Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST)."
Then your field is not original scientific research. ISO, etc., are industrial standards, not academic rules for scientific research.

Then the requirements of your work are clearly based on the mass-production of identical widgets. The engineers who designed the tools of your trade and the scientists who discovered the laws of nature which allowed those engineers to design those tools did not have a reference book to look up the information they needed, they figured that out from first principles, logic and empiricism and then wrote those books for you. On the front lines of science, we just don't have the same luxuries as you have in the comfort of your clean room.
