ISO Guide to Expression of Measurement Uncertainty, 1995.

Records indicate that over 10% of products appearing otherwise “healthy”

actually fail some datapoint during testing, requiring adjustment. Even if

they do not need hardware replacement or repair, such adjustment would

require a round trip to a service provider if the adjustment tools are not

available to a self-maintainer. Likewise, even when hardware can be

repaired in the field, it often requires post-repair adjustment to ensure

the instrument is performing within specifications.
