교정 공급업체 선택: 교정 불확도가 시험 정확도 및 위험에 미치는 영향
모든 측정에는 일정 수준의 변동성이 존재하며, 이러한 변동성의 크기가 귀하가 감수하는 위험의 정도를 결정합니다. 교정 불확도는 시험 결과의 정확도, 시험 표준 준수 여부, 출하하는 제품의 품질에 영향을 미칩니다. 본 게시물은 동일한 제목의 Instron 비디오 시리즈를 확장하여 교정 불확도가 무엇인지, 교정 성적서가 실제로 무엇을 의미하는지 평가하는 방법, 그리고 공급업체를 선택할 때 인정 범위, 공개된 불확도 값, 합격/불합격 판정 방식 등 무엇을 확인해야 하는지 설명합니다.
