The work of preparing I
16、nternational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison
17、 with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of tech
18、nical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is draw

21、orms to a specified criterion. The objective is to provide assurance of conformity, either in the form of a suppliers declaration, or of a third party certification (see ISO/IEC Guide 2, 1996). A specification is usually formulated as a single limiting value, LV, or as a set of (upper and lower) lim
22、iting values for a measurable characteristic. When the specification refers, e.g. to health-related characteristics, the limiting values are sometimes termed threshold limit value TLV, or permissible exposure limits, PEL. Whenever conformity testing involves measurement or sampling uncertainty, it i
23、s common practice to invoke elements from the theory of statistical hypothesis testing to provide a formal procedure. With the knowledge of the measurement procedure and of its behaviour with regard to the uncertainty of its outcomes it is possible to estimate and minimize the risk of making erroneo
24、us declarations of conformity or non-conformity to the specifications. An operational way of formulating requirements of assurance is to require that whenever an entity has been declared to be conforming, this status should not be altered by subsequent measurements on the entity, even using more pre
25、cise measurements (e.g. a better measurement method or technology). Or, in terms of risks, the risk of (erroneously) declaring a non-conforming entity to be conforming shall be small. Consequently, it is necessary to tolerate a (large) risk that an entity, which only marginally conforms, will fail t
26、o be declared as conforming. Applying a two-stage procedure instead of a one-stage procedure will in general decrease this risk. When a test for non-conformity is performed, similar considerations are valid. In this part of ISO 10576, this issue is addressed in respect of the construction of specifi
27、cations and the testing of output from production or service processes for conformity and non-conformity with specifications. The problems of how to determine the relevant components of uncertainty and how to estimate them will be addressed in a future ISO 10576-2. Because of the apparent similarity
28、 to acceptance sampling procedures, it is sometimes seen that acceptance sampling plans are used in conformity testing activities. Acceptance sampling and conformity testing activities both utilize elements of hypothesis testing (see e.g. ISO 28542). It is, however, important to realise that the obj
29、ectives of the two activities are fundamentally different and in particular the two activities imply different approaches to the risk involved (see ISO 28542and Holst9).

31、nciples 1 Scope This part of ISO 10576 sets out guidelines: a) for drafting requirements that may be formulated as limiting values for a quantifiable characteristic; b) for checking conformity to such requirements when the test or measurement result is subject to uncertainty. This part of ISO 10576
32、is applicable whenever the uncertainty may be quantified according to the principles laid down in GUM. The term uncertainty is thus a descriptor for all elements of variation in the measurement result, including uncertainty due to sampling. It is outside the scope of this part of ISO 10576 to give r
33、ules for how to act when an inconclusive result of a conformity test has been obtained. NOTE Neither on the nature of the entity subject to the requirements nor on the quantifiable characteristic are there limitations. Examples of entities together with quantifiable characteristics are given in Tabl
