Contents

This guide was produced by the EURACHEM Measurement Uncertainty Working Group. Production of the guide was in part supported under the contract with the UK Department of Trade and Industry as part of the National Measurement System Valid Analytical Measurement (VAM) Programme.

This first version of the guide, which was published in 1995, implements the provisions of the ISO "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement". The guide shows how the concepts in the ISO Guide may be applied in chemical measurement. The document first gives an introduction to the concept of uncertainty and the distinction between uncertainty and error. This is followed by a description of the steps involved in the
evaluation of uncertainty.

Availability

The first edition of this guide was originally published in hard copy only. A PDF reprint, available at the link below, was prepared in 2022 for historical interest.
