VIM 2.26
  • Measurement uncertainty, f

  • Uncertainty, f

  • Non-negative parameter that characterizes the dispersion of values attributed to a measurand, based on the information used.

  • NOTE 1: measurement uncertainty includes components arising from systematic effects, such as components associated with corrections and assigned values of standards, as well as definitional uncertainty.
