I was wondering if anyone was aware of any guidance documents that provided acceptable levels of uncertainty when conducting various tests. The specific measurement that I am interested in this case is temperature measurements, but I would be interested in seeing other guidance for other measurements as well (voltage, current, force etc.)
I know the IECEE has published a CTL decision sheet on equipment accuracy, but I was wondering if there was other industry guidance available. I have a situation where a product was subjected to a temperature test three times by three different individuals using the same test equipment, and the delta in some instances was nearly 12 degrees C (53.3 - 64.8) for the same component. Just looking for some additional guidance documents or standards that would help me convince the powers that be that such errors are unacceptable.
