UNE-EN ISO 4259-1:2018

This International Standard covers the methodology for the design of an Interlaboratory Study (ILS) and calculation of precision estimates of a test method specified by the study. In particular, it contains definitions of relevant statistical terms (Clause 3), the procedures to be adopted in the planning of ILS to determine the precision of a test method (Clause 4), and the method of calculating the precision from the results of such a study (Clauses 5 and 6).The procedures in this International Standard have been designed specifically for petroleum and petroleumrelated products, which are normally homogeneous. However, the procedures described in this International Standard can also be applied to other types of homogeneous products. Careful investigations are necessary before applying this International Standard to products for which the assumption of homogeneity can be questioned.
