Abstract: The lOO-page Guide to the Expression of Uncertaintyi n Measurement, which is the culmination of a 16 year effort to reach an international consensus on expressing measurement uncertainty, was published in October 1993 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the name of the seven organizations that supported its development: the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC), ISO, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), and the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML). The Guide represents the current international view of how to express measurement uncertainty based on the approach recommended by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1981. The CIPM approach has already been adopted by many organizations, including the Western European Calibration Cooperation (WECC), EUROMET (an organization which coordinates the work of European national standards laboratories), the National Conference of Standards Laboratories (NCSL), and several large U.S. companies, and the publication of the Guide is expected to give further impetus to the worldwide adoption of that approach. The Guide was prepared by a joint working group consisting of experts nominated by the BIPM, IEC, ISO, and OIML, and the authors played an active role in its preparation.
