When assessing conformity, it is important to know how measurement uncertainties are taken into account, especially when measurement results are close to a limit value. If the procedure is neither specified by the customer nor in the regulations (specifications or standards) applied, the laboratory must inform the client according to ISO / IEC 17025: 2017 on which rules the statement of conformity is based. Unless otherwise instructed, Labor Veritas will apply the decision rule described in Spotlight No. 36.
