Anyone familar with this? We got hit with a big doozy for the beginning of 2012 involving reporting results with measurement uncertainty. I'm curious if anyone else is going through this.
Basically, from now on, we have to report a measurement uncertainty for each line item on our certifications. This isn't a problem- but what I don't like is that if your measurement result overlaps the limit, we are to state that it is impossible to state compliance or non-compliance. (IE- your initial result is within tolerance, but with the added measurement uncertainty- it goes over the upper or lower limit).
Any thoughts on this issue? We're trying to figure out how to explain this to the customers. Somehow, I don't think they're going to appreciate "We don't know" as an acceptable calibration result.
Thanks,
