Determine measurements of uncertainty
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge to use statistical analysis to estimate and report measurement uncertainty in accordance with the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (or its replacement Standard). Personnel are required to review their estimates of measurement uncertainty to assist with making decisions on the fitness for purpose of the measurements.
This unit of competency applies to laboratory personnel who work in calibration and testing facilities, process and interpret data and are required to determine uncertainties using standard methods. The rigour required in estimating uncertainty will depend on the required accuracy of the particular calibration, test or measurement.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. However, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements for laboratory operations exist, so local requirements should be checked. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must also be applied.
