Statements of Pass or Fail Conformance
The uncertainty of measurement has been taken into account when determining compliance with specification, as per ILAC-G8:03/2009. All measurements and test results guard banded to ensure the probability of false-success does not exceed 2% in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006.
The status of compliance with the acceptance criteria is reported as:
PASS – Compliant with specification
FAIL – Not compliant with specification
FAIL(z) – The measured value is not within the acceptance limits. However, a portion of the expanded uncertainty of measurement at 95% is within the specified tolerance.
PASS(z) – The measured value is within acceptance limits. However, a portion of the expanded uncertainty of measurement at 95% exceeds the specified tolerance.
The expanded uncertainty of measurement is stated as the standard uncertainty of measurement multiplied by the coverage factor k=2, which for a normal distribution corresponds to a coverage probability of approximately 95%, unless otherwise stated.
This calibration report complies with ISO:IEC 17025:2017 and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 method 6-guard bands based on test uncertainty ratio.

Expanded Uncertainties of Measurement must include all factors that will affect the measurements. Sample factors for an Industrial Scale:
- Uncertainty of the calibration of standards
- Possible Drift since the last calibration
- Resolution of the unit under test
- Correction of Air Buoyancy
- Rounding error no load
- Round error indicated load
- Repeatability
- Environmental factors
