Abstract
A procedure for the assessment of conformity to specifications in the form of fixed numerical limits for some quantity is discussed with the measurement uncertainty for the quantity taken into account. It is shown that an interpretation of a measurement result in the sense of a Bayesian probability requires a modification in the classical procedures of decision theory, including the Bayesian procedures. The proposed approach is compared with that of the draft ISO/IEC DGuide 98-4 (2012), a part of the international standard “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement” (GUM). The approach of this draft is found to be in poor agreement with the concept of measurement uncertainty proposed in the GUM and this is illustrated with some examples.
