Associated uncertainty: Ucrm - Uncertainty values in this document are expressed as Expanded
Uncertainty (Ucrm) corresponding to the 95% confidence interval. Ucrm is
derived from the combined standard uncertainty multiplied by the coverage factor
k, which is obtained from a t-distribution and degrees of freedom. If k is not
provided, assume a value of 2.0. The components of combined standard
uncertainty include the uncertainties due to characterization, homogeneity, long
term stability, and short term stability (transport). The components due to
stability are generally considered to be negligible unless otherwise indicated by
stability studies. The mathematical representation of the Ucrm calculation is as
follows:
2 2 2
𝑈𝑐𝑟𝑚 = 𝑢𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 + 𝑢ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑖𝑡𝑦 + 𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 × 𝑘
Homogeneity assessment: Homogeneity was assessed in accordance with ISO Guide 35. Completed units
were sampled using a random stratified sampling protocol. The results of
chemical analysis were then compared by Single Factor Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA). The uncertainty due to homogeneity was derived from the ANOVA.
Heterogeneity was not detected under the conditions of the ANOVA.
Stability assessment: Significance of the stability assessment will be demonstrated if the analytical
result of the study and the range of values represented by the Expanded
Uncertainty do not overlap the result of the original assay and the range of its
values represented by the Expanded Uncertainty. The method employed will
usually be the same method used to characterize the assay value in the initial
evaluation.
