Abstract
The evaluation of measurement uncertainties has been widely applied to the calibration of measurement instruments, whereas its application to tests, despite increasing requirements, is a more recent phenomenon. The generalization of the evaluation of measurement uncertainties to tests has been a gradual process, in line with changes in the requirements of the normative framework that regulates the accreditation of tests laboratories and also as the perceived good practices have evolved. The sole identification of the relevant sources of uncertainty was followed by the requirement to provide a simplified estimate of the measurement uncertainty, and it is now an accepted requirement to properly evaluate the expanded measurement uncertainty associated with any tests. In this study, the evaluation of measurement uncertainty associated with the determination of sulfate in water will be attempted using a procedure that includes linear regression, with the regression parameters provided with associated uncertainties, and a Monte Carlo method applied as a validation tool of the conventional mainstream evaluation method, concerning the approximations in terms of linearization of the model and the assumed shape of the output distribution introduced by this approach.
