Analytical measurement system

A collection of one or more components or subsystems, such as samplers, test equipment, instrumentation, display devices, data handlers, printouts or output transmitters, that is used to determine a quantitative value of a specific property for an unknown sample in accordance with a test method.

  • Note: A standard test method (for example, ASTM, ISO) is an example of an analytical measurement system.
  • Note: An analytical measurement system may comprise multiple instruments being used for the same test method provided there is no statistically observable bias and precision differences between the multiple instruments
