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.
