We show that quantum resistance standards made of transferred graphene reach the uncertainty of semiconductor devices, the current reference system in metrology. In our measurements, a large graphene device (150 \times 30 \mum2), exfoliated from graphite and transferred onto GaAs, revealed a quantization with a precision of (-5.1 \pm 6.3) x 10^-9 accompanied by a vanishing longitudinal resistance at a current level exceeding 10 \muA. While such performance had previously only been achieved with epitaxially grown graphene, our experiments demonstrate that transfer steps, inevitable for CVD-grown or exfoliated graphene, are compatible with the requirements of high quality quantum resistance standards.
