Petroleum and related products - Precision of measurement methods and results - Part 1: Determination of precision data in relation to methods of test - Amendment 1 (ISO 4259-1:2017/Amd 1:2019)
This document specifies the methodology for the design of an Interlaboratory Study (ILS) and
calculation of precision estimates of a test method specified by the study. In particular, it defines the
relevant statistical terms (Clause 3), the procedures to be adopted in the planning of ILS to determine
the precision of a test method (Clause 4), and the method of calculating the precision from the results of
such a study (Clauses 5 and 6).
The procedures in this document have been designed specifically for petroleum and petroleum related
products, which are normally considered as homogeneous. However, the procedures described in this
document can also be applied to other types of homogeneous products. Careful investigations are
necessary before applying this document to products for which the assumption of homogeneity can be
questioned.

Ta dokument opredeljuje metodologijo za načrtovanje medlaboratorijske študije (ILS) in izračun stopnje natančnosti preskusne metode, ki jo je določila študija. Še zlasti določa ustrezne statistične izraze (točka 3), postopke za načrtovanje medlaboratorijske študije za določitev natančnosti preskusne metode (točka 4) in metodo za izračun natančnosti na podlagi rezultatov take študije (točki 5 in 6).
Postopki v tem dokumentu so bili zasnovani posebej za nafto in sorodne
proizvode, ki se običajno obravnavajo kot homogeni. Kljub temu pa se postopke, opisane v tem
dokumentu, lahko uporablja tudi za druge vrste homogenih proizvodov. Pred uporabo tega dokumenta za proizvode, pri katerih je predpostavka o homogenosti lahko vprašljiva, so potrebne
temeljite preiskave.

Overview
EN ISO 4259-1:2017/A1:2019 is Amendment 1 to ISO 4259‑1:2017, adopted by CEN to clarify and improve the procedure for determining precision data for test methods applied to petroleum and related products. The amendment updates statistical procedures, reporting guidance and scope-limit definitions used in interlaboratory studies (ILS) and precision evaluations. It was approved by CEN and published October 2019 for national adoption.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to determination of precision data (repeatability and reproducibility) in relation to methods of test for petroleum and related products. It amends Part 1 of the ISO 4259 series.
- Statistical treatment: Introduces explicit guidance to perform linear regression of difference measures versus sample mean to decide whether a transformation is necessary. Practitioners must test the slope (b1) for statistical significance at the 5% level.
- Transformation criteria: If regression slopes are insignificant, no transformation is required; if significant or nonlinear patterns exist, a transformation is required and further procedures follow.
- Formula and figure corrections: The amendment corrects and renumbers formulae, refines explanatory text in several Clauses (notably 5.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3.2) and replaces Figure 1 to align with the updated procedures.
- Reporting and scope limits: Clarifies how method scope limits are defined using retained sample means after statistical analysis and how reporting limits for acceptable single results are to be calculated. New subclause 6.6 prescribes that lowest/highest acceptable single results be set relative to the method scope limit ± 1.2·R (where R is evaluated at the retained sample mean).
- Metadata requirements: Requires that precision reports include the number of laboratories, types and ranges of materials studied, and the achieved degrees of freedom for repeatability (r) and reproducibility (R).
Applications and users
This amendment is essential for:
- Testing laboratories conducting interlaboratory studies and generating precision statements for petroleum test methods.
- Standards developers and method authors who must incorporate statistically sound precision criteria into test methods.
- Quality assurance and regulatory bodies that rely on standardized precision data for compliance, trade, and specification limits.
- Instrument and equipment manufacturers supplying volumetric and analytical equipment for petroleum testing.
Practical benefits include improved consistency of precision estimations, clearer pass/fail boundaries for single measurements, and reduced ambiguity in method scope definitions.
Related standards
- ISO 4259 series - Part 1 is one component; consult other parts of ISO 4259 for complementary procedures and guidance on precision of measurement methods for petroleum products.
- Relevant CEN and ISO documents on interlaboratory statistical methods and test-method validation may be referenced when implementing these requirements.
Keywords: EN ISO 4259-1:2017/A1:2019, precision of measurement methods, petroleum and related products, interlaboratory studies, repeatability, reproducibility, reporting limits, linear regression, test method scope.
