3、tain thenumerically exact accepted reference value (ARV) of a check standard (CS) material every time oneis tested. Results that are reasonably close to the ARV should provide assurance that the laboratory isperforming the test method either without bias, or with a bias that is of no practical conce
4、rn, hencerequiring no intervention. Results differing from the ARV by more than a certain amount, however,should lead the laboratory to take corrective action.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers a methodology for establishing anacceptable tolerance zone for the difference between the resultobtained fr
5、om a single implementation of a test method on aCheck Standard (CS) and its ARV, based on user-specifiedType I error, the user-established test method precision, thestandard error of the ARV, and a presumed hypothesis that thelaboratory is performing the test method without bias.NOTE 1Throughout thi
6、s practice, the term user refers to the user ofthis practice; and the term laboratory (see 1.1) refers to the organization orentity that is performing the test method.1.2 For the tolerance zone established in 1.1, a methodologyis presented to estimate the probability that the single test resultwill
7、fall outside the zone, in the event that there is a bias(positive or negative) of a user-specified magnitude that isdeemed to be of practical concern (that is, the presumedhypothesis is not true).1.3 This practice is intended forASTM Committee D02 testmethods that produce results on a continuous num

Significance and Use4.1 Laboratories performing petroleum test methods can usethis practice to set an acceptable tolerance zone for infrequenttesting of CS or CCS material, based on , and a desire
31、d TypeI error, for the purpose of ascertaining if the test method isbeing performed without bias.4.2 This practice can be used to estimate the power ofcorrectly detecting bias of different magnitudes, using theacceptable tolerance zone set in 4.1, and hence, gain insightinto the limitation of the tr
32、ue bias detection capability associ-ated with this acceptable tolerance zone. With this insight,trade-offs can be made between desired Type I error versusdesired bias detection capability to suit specific business needs.4.3 The CS testing activities described in this practice areintended to augment
33、and not replace the regular statisticalmonitoring of test method performance as described in PracticeD6299.5. General Requirement5.1 Application of the methodology in this practice requiresthe following:5.1.1 The standard material has an ARV and associatedstandard error (SEARV).NOTE 3For a given pow
34、er of detection, the magnitude of theassociated bias detectable is directly proportional to 5=SE2ARV12SITE. Therefore, efforts should be made to keep the ratio(SEARV/ SITE) to as low a value as practical. A ratio of 0.5 or less isconsidered useful.5.1.2 The user has a SITEfor the test method that is
35、reasonably suited for the standard material.D6617 132NOTE 4It is recognized that there will be situations in which the CSmay not be compositionally similar to or have property level similar to, orboth, the materials regularly tested. For those situations, the site precisionstandard deviation (SITE)
36、estimated using regularly tested material at aproperty level closest to the check standard should be used.5.1.3 User-specified Type I error and the minimum magni-tude of bias that is of practical concern ().5.1.4 The test method is in statistical control.NOTE 5Within the context of this practice, a
37、test method can be instatistical control (that is, mean is stable, under common cause variations),but can be biased.NOTE 6Generally, sites with sitenominally less than 0.25 R, orequivalently, site precision (2.77 site) less than 0.69 R (R is thepublished test method reproducibility, if available) ar

42、 ofbias detection will depend on the magnitude of specified, the totaluncertainty , and the specified Type I error rate. For a fixed magnitude of, power of bias detection (of magnitude ) can be increased at theexpense of an increase in Type I error rate. For a fixed Type I error, powerof detection b
