Natural gas - Determination of composition and associated uncertainty by gas chromatography - Part 3: Precision and bias (ISO 6974-3:2018)

This document describes the precision that can be expected from the gas chromatographic method
that is set up in accordance with ISO 6974-1. The stated precision provides values for the magnitude
of variability that can be expected between test results when the method described in ISO 6974-1 is
applied in one or more competent laboratories. This document also gives guidance on the assessment
of bias.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International 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 with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

measurement precision
closeness of agreement between indications or measured quantity values obtained by replicate
measurements on the same or similar objects under specified conditions
Note 1 to entry: Measurement precision is usually expressed numerically by measures of imprecision, such as
standard deviation, variance, or coefficient of variation under the specified conditions of measurement.
Note 2 to entry: The ‘specified conditions’ can be, for example, repeatability conditions of measurement,
intermediate precision conditions of measurement, or reproducibility conditions of measurement (see
ISO 5725-1).
Note 3 to entry: Measurement precision is used to define measurement repeatability, intermediate measurement
precision, and measurement reproducibility.
Note 4 to entry: Sometimes “measurement precision” is erroneously used to mean measurement accuracy.

3.2
error of measurement
measured quantity value minus a reference quantity value
Note 1 to entry: The concept of ‘measurement error’ can be used both
a) when there is a single reference quantity value to refer to, which occurs if a calibration is made by means of
a measurement standard with a measured quantity value having a negligible measurement uncertainty or if
a conventional quantity value is given, in which case the measurement error is known, and
b) if a measurand is supposed to be represented by a unique true quantity value of a set of true quantity values
of negligible range in which case the measurement error is not known
Note 2 to entry: Measurement error should not be confused with production error or mistake.
