The New Dimension to Resolution: Can it be Resolved? Our last blog, Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk, described why best practices should be followed for conformity assessments rather than drafting individual test protocols and standards. How should manufacturers and calibration laboratories correctly calculate both uncertainty and risk on equipment? Risk, Conformity Assessment, […]
Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk - Intro If a device's uncertainty has too coarse of a resolution, then you need a device that does not subject the conformance decision to higher risk. This blog will present examples that demonstrate why best practices should be followed for conformity assessments rather than drafting individual […]
TAR versus TUR: Why TAR should RIP ASAP In our last blog, Examining the History of TAR and TUR, we examined several outdated, and to some extent wrong, practices, such as Test Accuracy Ratios (TARs) and requesting NIST traceable calibrations. Remember when they buried the word "DEF"? Maybe we, as metrologists, need to do that […]
