Measurement Uncertainty is described in NAMAS NIS 81. What Tony is describing is a statistical method for a confidence level over a certain sample allocation. Measurement uncertainty takes in to account the errors associated with the Measurement you are making and through other statistical methods give use a factor to be added to the measured value ( Very basically described) for an even higher confidence level.
