This Malaysian Standards specifies four intermediate precision measures due to changes in observation conditions (time, calibration, operator and equipment) within a laboratory. These intermediate measures can be established by an experiment within a specific laboratory or by an interlaboratory experiment.
Furthermore, this part of standard
a) discusses the implications of the definitions of intermediate precision measures;
b) presents guidance on the interpretation and application of the estimates of intermediate precision measures in practical situations;
c) does not provide any measure of the errors in estimating intermediate precision measures;
d) does not concern itself with determining the trueness of the measurement method itself, but
does discuss the connections between trueness and measurement conditions.
This standard is concerned exclusively with measurement methods which yield measurements on a continuous scale and give a single value as the test result, althoug
