Capability of detection - Part 3: methodology for determination of the critical value for the response variable when no calibration data are used (ISO 11843-3:2003, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard gives a method of estimating the critical value of the response variable from the mean and standard deviation of repeated measurements of the reference state in certain situations (see 5.1) in which the value of the net state variable is zero, for all reasonable and foreseeable purposes. Hence, it can be decided whether values of the response variable in an actual state (or test sample) are above the range of values attributable to the reference state.
