Measurement uncertainty is the significant part of organizations’ decision making and risk assessment process because all type of organizations base their decisions on reports enclosing measurable data. A measurement result of a laboratory is an estimate of the value of the measure, and quality of this estimate depends on the inevitable uncertainty. Giving quantitative indication of the quality of the measurement result is obligatory so that those who use it can assess its reliability. Without such an indication, measurement results cannot be compared, either among themselves or with reference values given in a specification or standard.

Main points covered:
• Measurement uncertainty vs. measurement error
• Bottom- up approach for estimating uncertainty
• Top- down approach for estimating uncertainty
