This Technical Report provides recommendations associated
with addressing measurement uncertainty and
direction in the application of the existing ASME B89.7
series of uncertainty-related standards and technical
reports. This Technical Report also provides general principles
and recommendations regarding measurement
uncertainty and its documentation for use in the development
of ASME B89 standards and technical reports.
This Technical Report does not cover methods to be
used in the estimation of measurement uncertainty. To
achieve these objectives, this Technical Report(a) outlines guidelines for documenting measurement
uncertainty in ASME B89 standards and technical reports(b) defines general calibration and verification testing
principles, terms, and concepts for use in dimensional
metrology(c) discusses general topics associated with addressing
measurement uncertainty, such as operating conditions,
conformance testing, decision rules, and traceabilityThis Technical Report takes advantage of the technical
content developed in other ASME B89.7 standards and
technical reports, whenever possible. That technical
content is referenced, but not repeated, in this
Technical Report.
