A comparative analysis of approaches and methods for expressing the accuracy of industrial (routine) and laboratory measurements is carried out. Debatable questions of summation of systematic and random errors and use of uncertainty in the system of indicators of measurement accuracy are discussed. The applicability of measurement uncertainty in the quantitative expression of the accuracy of laboratory measurements is substantiated.
