Measurement Uncertainty
non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion
of the quantity values being attributed to a measurand,
based on the information used
It arises due to the imperfections in the measurement

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES
Calibration at (planned) periodic intervals to
ensure acceptable accuracy & reliability
Shorten the intervals when results of previous
calibration suggest it
May lengthen intervals on basis of demonstrated
performance
Documented procedure for assigning and adjusting
calibration intervals
Fully documented re-calibration system
