Key 1 for MiC: Metrological Traceability (MTr)

Property of a measurement result whereby the result can be related to a reference through a documented unbroken chain of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement uncertainty

(proposed in VIM3) (2007) The reference can be

1. a ‘reference quantity value’ carried by a :- a calibrator (measurement standard)

such as carried by (or embodied in) a certified reference material- (the value of) a measurement unit (SI or other)

2. a quantity value obtained by an (internationally) agreed reference measurement procedure - when the measurand operationally defined

A MTr chain to a common reference is a prerequisite for evaluating measurement uncertainty of a measurement result

The establishment of the metrological traceability (chain) of a measurement resultto a‘stated reference’, requires an • a priori knowledge of the measurement procedure (at the stage of planning)

During this process, it is also possible to make an

• a priori estimate of the measurement uncertainty of each link in the metrological traceability chain (thus establishing the structure of uncertainty budget)

Key 2 of MiC: Measurement uncertainty (MU)

is a measure of doubt about the measurement result(not a measure of confidence in a so-called ‘true value’)

1. A measurement uncertainty i.e. the uncertainty of a measurement result, is generated automaticallyfrom the very moment one starts measuring

2. a measurement uncertainty is obtained through an evaluation process:

- type A evaluation of measurement uncertainty- type B evaluation of measurement uncertainty

(calculation only comes after these evaluations)

Key 2 for MiC: Measurement Uncertainty

Type A evaluation of measurement uncertainty:

evaluation of a component of measurement uncertainty by a statistical analysis of measured quantity values obtained under defined measurement conditions

Type B evaluation of measurement uncertainty:

evaluation of a component of measurement uncertainty other than type A evaluation of measurement uncertainty

3. understanding the process called measurement

- is a prerequisite for deciding on the metrological traceability chain of the measurement result- which, in turn, is a prerequisite for the evaluation of measurement uncertainty

4. measurement uncertainty should be small enough for the intended use of the measurement result and need not be smaller (before the measurement is started, it is useful to decide on a target measurement uncertainty inspired by the intended useof the measurement result)

Measurement results withoutstatements of reliability

(uncertainty) should not be taken seriously

VIM3 (2007) will now require measurement uncertainty to be part of the measurement result by definition

‘ON THE AVERAGE THE DUCK WAS DEAD’

A hunter fired two barrels of a shotgun at a duck. The first hits two feet in front, the second hits two feet behind. On the average the duck was dead. What the hunter really wanted was roast duck on the table. In duck hunting one wants to keep trying until a single shot hits the mark. [Source: J Ruzicka 1980 (at the habilitaion of K Heydorn, KØBENHAVN)]

(besides: it must be the first shot, or the duck is gone!)

It is cheaper to perform less measurements, but have sufficiently small measurement uncertainty every time, than making many measurements and use the average

We have several languages available to communicateabout measurement:

mathematical equations picturessentences.

It follows that we have to attach the same meaning to the same tools.

No wonder that some of the oldest and most needed Commissions of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and theInternational Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)are Commissions on symbols, nomenclature, units:SUNAMCO for IUPAP, ICTNS for IUPAC.

The revision of ‘VIM2’ (yielding ‘VIM3’):

1. Improved internal consistency

2. Improved consistency of ISO Guides and Standards

3. More clarity which is important because• no clarity, therefore

• no understanding, therefore

• no agreement possible to realize:

- fair trade - implementation of EC Directives - mutual acceptance of measurement results

e.g. in laboratory medicine

The revision of ‘VIM2’ (yielding ‘VIM3’):

4. fully takes on board chemical measurementfor the very first time in history

5. uses the ‘substitution principle’: any concept used in the definition of another conceptmust be replaceable by the definition ofthat concept given elsewhere in the VIM;to make that clear, it is printed in bold

6. uses GUM, even if the definition of some GUM concepts are already up for refinement in ‘GUM2’(which is not yet planned)

Describing measurement results a posteriori (the ‘culture’ of statistics in chemical measurement)

only describes a result in terms of a distributionof a set of values a posteriori

Establishing the authority of a measurement result, can be done a priori :

by deciding the metrological traceability chain;

it can/must be done before the measurement

The task is to demonstrate the scientific authority of the result of the measurement.

This needs underpinning (‘Untermauerung’) of the measurement result

in order to lead to the necessary credibility.
