Using of Validated Software for Uncertainty Analyses Tools in Accredited Laboratories

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to international standards the accredited calibration and testing laboratories are required to use reliable measuring instruments and to estimate an uncertainty of measurements. The variety of software tools and the different approaches taken will almost certainly ensure that for each laboratory there is a software package which will meet the needs. In this paper, several a software packages are made according to their validation for comparison. Briefly general principles of validating uncertainty analysis software packages are described. Briefly used validation methods are described.
