The role of measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment

The JCGM Working Group 1 (JCGM-WG1) produced and issued one more documnet to accompany the GUM.  The  Evaluation of measurement data – The role of measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment (JCGM 106:2012) has been approved and is available for download as PDF file in http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/guides/gum.html . This document provides guidance and procedures for assessing the conformity of an item (entity, object or system) with specified requirements. The procedures developed in this document can be used to realize an interval, called an acceptance interval, of permissible measured values of the property of interest. Acceptance limits can be chosen so as to balance the risks associated with accepting non-conforming items (consumer's risk) or rejecting conforming items (producer's risk).
