Hi Paul,

Do you know of any commercial EMI test facilities that use
NAMAS NIS 81 to determine the measurement uncertainty
statistical factor and add it to their measured values?

Thx,
Tony

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.
