1、Designation: E 2161 07aStandard Terminology Relating toPerformance Validation in Thermal Analysis1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2161; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision

2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 Validation of methods and apparatus is requested orrequired for quality initiatives or where results may be used forlegal purposes

3、.1.2 This standard provides terminology relating to validat-ing performance of thermal analysis methods and instrumen-tation. Terms that are generally understood or defined ad-equately in other readily available sources are not included.1.3 The terminology described in this document is that ofthe va

Terminologyaccuracythe agreement between an experimentally deter-mined value and the accepted reference value.DISCUSSION
