Yes, it's a sort of insurance against a 6 dB favourable error. But the 
point is that it's FAR easier to cope with in practice, and it may well 
give a more dependable assurance of compliance than a complex 
uncertainty assessment.

Of course, in some cases it may be difficult to achieve, but for 
products made in any significant volume a 6 dB margin at the compliance 
test stage is no more than is needed for a quiet life in the months to 
come!
