26、1 PrecisionThe following criteria should be used tojudge the acceptability of the 95 % probability level of theresults obtained by this test method. The criteria were derivedfrom an interlaboratory study between three laboratories. Thedata were obtained over four days using different operators.The s
27、tudy was conducted at 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg of phenol.Reproducibility and intermediate precision may change athigher concentrations.13.1.1 Intermediate Precision (formerly calledRepeatability)Results in the same laboratory should not beconsidered suspect unless they differ by more than the follow-ing:
