PD CEN/TR 10350:2013CEN/TR 10350:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This Technical Report defines a procedure for checking, in each specific laboratory, the accuracy of an analytical method by the application of stati

15、stical principles to the analytical results obtained on Certified Reference Materials (CRMs). This Technical Report is an adaptation of ISO Guide 33:2000 mostly for the specific cases where EURONORM-CRMs are used for checking, in an intralaboratory context, the accuracy of an analytical method. Neve

16、rtheless, it may be adopted in any other case where CRMs selected have similar quality levels to those of EURONORM-CRMs. PD CEN/TR 10350:2013CEN/TR 10350:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope The present statistical procedure describes how to check results for absence of bias by comparison of these analytical results

17、with those obtained during the certification of CRMs. If the resulting data confirm the absence of bias, the method may be considered accurate when applied to all steels and irons whose composition ranges are adequately covered or bounded by the CRMs used. The resulting data give also an estimate of

18、 the repeatability and/or the intermediate precision (“intralaboratory reproducibility“) for the CRMs used. The comparison of these analytical data with the repeatability data obtained during the certification may also be performed depending on the strict purpose of the method under consideration. F

19、or the purpose of this Technical Report, the use of existing CRMs is essential for the assessment of the trueness, but it may be only indicative for the other statistical data. NOTE This Technical Report does not describe the use of CRMs as calibrants, this subject being treated in ISO Guide 32. 2 P

20、rinciple This Technical Report describes a procedure for checking an analytical method used in a specific laboratory by using data obtained from the analysis of CRMs. The absence of bias ascertained with CRMs can be extended to the trueness of further analytical samples adequately covered or bounded

21、 by the selected CRMs. Nevertheless it should be underlined that this Technical Report is not appropriate for the assessment of the repeatability and/or the intermediate precision data of the further analytical samples to be tested by the analytical method under consideration. Checking the trueness

22、of an analytical method as applied by a specific laboratory involves the comparison of the mean value of the analytical results obtained by using CRMs with the certified value of each CRM selected. The standard deviation of the intralaboratory means of the selected CRMs is taken into account when ma

23、king this comparison. Moreover, adjustment values chosen in advance by the laboratory, according to economic or technical limitations or stipulations are also taken into account. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 certified refer

24、ence material CRM reference material characterized by a metrologically valid procedure for one or more specified properties, accompanied by a certificate that provides the value of the specified property, its associated uncertainty, and a statement of metrological traceability NOTE 1 The concept of

25、value includes qualitative attributes such as identity or sequence. Uncertainties for such attributes may be expressed as probabilities. NOTE 2 Metrologically valid procedures for the production and certification of reference materials are given in, among others, ISO Guides 34 and 35. NOTE 3 ISO Gui

26、de 31 gives guidance on the contents of certificates. NOTE 4 VIM has an analogous definition (ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.14). PD CEN/TR 10350:2013CEN/TR 10350:2013 (E) 6 SOURCE: ISO Guide 30; Amendment 1:2008 3.2 reference material RM material, sufficiently homogeneous and stable with respect to one o

27、r more specified properties, which has been established to be fit for its intended use in a measurement process NOTE 1 RM is a generic term. NOTE 2 Properties can be quantitative or qualitative, e.g. identity of substances or species. NOTE 3 Uses may include the calibration of a measurement system,

28、assessment of a measurement procedure, assigning values to other materials, and quality control. NOTE 4 A single RM cannot be used for both calibration and validation of results in the same measurement procedure. NOTE 5 VIM has an analogous definition (ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.13), but restricts the

29、 term “measurement” to apply to quantitative values and not to qualitative properties. However, NOTE 3 of ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 5.13, specifically includes the concept of qualitative attributes, called “nominal properties”. SOURCE: ISO Guide 30; Amendment 1:2008 3.3 accuracy closeness of agreement

30、between a test result and the true value NOTE 1 In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value. NOTE 2 The term “accuracy“, when applied to a set of test or measurement results, involves a combination of random components and common systematic error or bias component. NO

31、TE 3 Accuracy refers to a combination of trueness and precision. SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.1 3.4 bias difference between the expectation of a test result or a measurement result and a true value NOTE 1 Bias is the total systematic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more syst

32、ematic error components contributing to the bias. A larger systematic difference from the true value is reflected by a larger bias value. NOTE 2 The bias of a measuring instrument is normally estimated by averaging the error of indication over an appropriate number of repeated measurements. The erro

33、r of indication is the “indication of a measuring instrument minus a true value of the corresponding input quantity“. NOTE 3 In practice, the accepted reference value is substituted for the true value. SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.2 3.5 precision closeness of agreement between independent test/measu

34、rement results obtained under stipulated conditions NOTE 1 Precision depends only on the distribution of random errors and does not relate to the true value or the specified value. NOTE 2 The measure of precision is usually expressed in terms of imprecision and computed as a standard deviation of th

35、e test results or measurement results. Less precision is reflected by a larger standard deviation. PD CEN/TR 10350:2013CEN/TR 10350:2013 (E) 7 NOTE 3 Quantitative measures of precision depend critically on the stipulated conditions. Repeatability conditions and reproducibility conditions are particu

36、lar sets of extreme stipulated conditions.

42、 four elements to the operating condition: time, calibration, operator and equipment. NOTE 2 A test house is an example of a test facility. A metrology laboratory is an example of a measurement facility. SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, 3.3.16 3.12 uncertainty of the certified values in the particular case

43、of EURONORM-CRMs, the uncertainty of each certified value is expressed as the 95 % half-width confidence interval “C(95 %)“ of the mean of the intralaboratory means Note 1 to entry: It is calculated from Formula (1): nS t%) C(95M= (1) where t is the Students value at the desired probability with n-1

Note 2 to entry: This definition is not used in the present document: it is only given for clarification. 4 Procedure 4.1 General The analytical method for the me

45、asurement shall be fixed, i.e. a written document shall exist laying down all the details. There shall be no changes to the method during the course of the experiment. CRMs to be selected shall cover the range of the analytical method, which shall at least be bounded with low and high content, and i

46、f possible, shall include an intermediate content. Furthermore, it should be possible to extend the choice of CRMs to cover similar matrices representing the compositions of the analytical samples intended to be analysed. For example, if the analytical method concerns the determination of copper in

47、low alloy steel samples with a nickel content of about 0,01 % and also in samples having a nickel content of about 1 % it is advisable to test the method within its full range for both kind of matrices. 4.2 Number of replicate determinations The number of replicate determinations required, n0, depen

48、ds mainly on the values of and and the alternative hypothesis chosen for the assessment of the precision. NOTE is the significance level and is the type II error probability. PD CEN/TR 10350:2013CEN/TR 10350:2013 (E) 9 Table 1 shows the relation between the degrees of freedom (where in this case = n

49、 - 1) and the ratio of the within-laboratory standard deviation of the analytical method, W1, and the required value of the within-laboratory standard deviation, W0, for various values of at = 0,05. For example, for n = 10 the probability that the variance of the analytical results will pass the appropriate 2-test at = 0,05 is no more than 1 % when within-laboratory standard deviation, W1, of the analytical method is equal or larger than 2,85 times the required value of W0.
