This Malaysian Standard:
a) outlines the general principles needed to calibrate a measurement system and to maintain that “calibrated” measurement system in a state of statistical control;
b) provides a basic method
- for estimating a linear calibration function under either one of two assumptions relating to the variability of the measurements,
- for checking the assumption of linearity of the calibration function and the assumptions on the variability of the measurements, and
- for estimating the value of a new unknown quantity by transforming the measured values obtained on that quantity with the calibration function;
c) provides a control method for extended use of a calibration function
- for detecting when the calibration function needs to be updated, and
- for estimating the uncertainty of the measured values after transformation with the calibration
function;
d) provides two alternatives to the basic method under special conditions;
e) illustrates the basic m
