scope:

This method is for developing precision statements as reported in UOP methods and relative bias of the same method between different laboratories. The calculation of precision, in terms of repeatability (within a laboratory), reproducibility (between laboratories) and relative bias (between laboratories) is described. Precision statements in methods having a 98 or later suffix were developed by the procedure described; methods having an 88 through 97 suffix used UOP 888-88, while methods with suffixes earlier than 88 used UOP 666-82.
