combined standard uncertainty. The level of confidence that may be attributed to this interval can be known only

NOTE 3: It is understood that the result of the measurement is the best estimate of the value of the measurand, and
that all components of uncertainty, including those arising from systematic effects, such as components associated
with corrections and reference standards, contribute to the dispersion.

⎯ an estimate characterizing the range of values within which the true value of a measurand lies (VIM:1984,
definition 3.09).
Although these two traditional concepts are valid as ideals, they focus on unknowable quantities: the “error” of the
result of a measurement and the “true value” of the measurand (in contrast to its estimated value), respectively.
Nevertheless, whichever concept of uncertainty is adopted, an uncertainty component is always evaluated using the
same data and related information. (See also E.5.) 21 22

In the process of assessing whether a product complies with the requirement of a technical
regulation or its specification, Measurement results are used for taking compliance decision on
products. The objective of measurement is to determine the value of measurand.
Quality of measurements has assumed great significance in view of the fact that measurement
