EGU HV Laboratory applies a binnary decision rule to the statement of conformity which reports two statements:

  • PASS – results are within limits or meet a given specification
  • FAIL – results are out of limits or fail a given specification

Calculated uncertainty of measurements are informative only with regards to the statement of conformity application
