1.1This practice describes techniques for a laboratory to estimate the uncertainty of a test result using data from test results on a control sample. This standard provides one method for a laboratory to estimate Measurement Uncertainty in accordance with Section A22.3 in Form and Style of ASTM Standards.
1.2Uncertainty as defined by this practice applies to the capabilities of a single laboratory. Any estimate of uncertainty determined through the use of this practice applies only to the individual laboratory for which the data are presented.
1.3The laboratory uses a well defined and established test method in determining a series of test results. The uncertainty estimated using this practice only applies when the same test method is followed. The uncertainty only applies for the material types represented by the control samples, and multiple control samples may be needed, especially if the method has different precision for different sample types or response levels.
1.4The uncertainty estimate determined by this practice represents the intermediate precision of test results. This estimate seeks to quantify the total variation expected within a single laboratory using a single established test method while incorporating as many known sources of variation as possible.
1.5This practice does not establish error estimates (error budget) attributed to individual factors that could influence uncertainty.
1.6This practice describes the use of control charts to evaluate the data obtained and presents a special type of control chart to monitor the estimate of uncertainty.
