10 Precision

10.1 Repeatability The measured values of two independent test results obtained under repeatability conditions, within the range of the average values given in Table 6, represent the two test results. The absolute difference does not exceed the repeatability limit (r), and the number of cases exceeding the repeatability limit (r) does not exceed 5%. The repeatability limit (r) is determined by linear regression based on the data in Table 6. The precision data were obtained using interpolation or extrapolation. Statistical results for the precision data are shown in Appendix A.
