ISO/IEC 17025 DECISION RULE
ISO/IEC 17025 DECISION RULE

When a statement of conformity to a specification or standard for the test or calibration is requested, the following Decision Rule shall apply:

Decision Rule: Simple acceptance (Allowance Limit = Tolerance Limit [AL=TL]) is used as defined in ILAC G8. Uncertainties have been estimated at K=2 (approximately 95% confidence level) with a Tolerance to Uncertainty Ratio (TUR) > 4.6:1 (Possible False Acceptance [PFA] < 2%) unless otherwise noted.

Simple Acceptance:
• Pass: the measured value is below the acceptance limit, AL=TL
• Fail: the measured value is above the acceptance limit, AL=TL

ISO/IEC 17025 DECISION RULE Simple Acceptance

Adjustment: If any measurement during as-received calibration uses greater than 50% of its allowance limit, the unit will be adjusted and an as returned calibration performed.

All accredited tests or calibrations must be approved by acceptance of a supplied quote or referencing the specific quote number on a purchase order or contract. Your acceptance of our Decision Rule is as designated unless otherwise agreed upon, in writing, prior to the start of the calibration.

Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the following minerals and their derivatives are defined as conflict minerals:

  • Columbite-tantalite (Coltan) >> refined into tantalum (Ta)
