Aspect of a measurement procedure that may be quantitatively investigated and assessed as part of procedure validation.
Notes:
- Performance characteristics that may be considered in procedure validation are analytical selectivity, sensitivity of a measuring system, working interval, ruggedness of a measurement procedure, linearity of a measuring system, linearity of calibration, critical value, limit of detection, limit of quantification, measurement trueness, and measurement precision.
- Measurement uncertainty is not a performance characteristic of a particular measurement procedure but a property of the measurement result obtained using that measurement procedure.
