Abstract
A protocol has been developed illustrating the link between validation experiments, such as precision, trueness and ruggedness testing, and measurement uncertainty evaluation. By planning validation experiments with uncertainty estimation in mind, uncertainty budgets can be obtained from validation data with little additional effort. The main stages in the uncertainty estimation process are described, and the use of trueness and ruggedness studies is discussed in detail. The practical application of the protocol will be illustrated in Part 2, with reference to a method for the determination of three markers (CI solvent red 24, quinizarin and CI solvent yellow 124) in fuel oil samples.
