Guidelines for evaluating and expressing the uncertainty of NIST measurement results

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This NIST Technical Note 1297 (1994) gives guidelines for evaluating and expressing measurement uncertainty at NIST, adopting the CIPM/ISO Guide approach. It defines Type A and Type B evaluations, combined and expanded uncertainty, and reporting conventions, with \(k=2\) as the NIST default coverage factor.
Key findings
- NIST policy: represent each uncertainty component by a standard uncertainty \(u_i\), combine them by the root-sum-of-squares method into the combined standard uncertainty \(u_c\), and report expanded uncertainty \(U = k u_c\) with \(k=2\) by convention, or report \(u_c\); other \(k\) values require established and documented requirements.
- Type A evaluations use statistical methods; Type B evaluations use other means. The A/B distinction is not the same as “random”/“systematic.” Type B examples include dividing a quoted 95% interval by 1.960 and a 99% interval by 2.576; for a rectangular distribution \(u_j = a/\sqrt{3}\), for triangular \(u_j = a/\sqrt{6}\), and for normal models \(u_j \approx 1.48a\) for a 50% interval, \(u_j \approx a\) for 67%, and \(u_j \approx a/3\) for 99.73%.
- Coverage: when the normal distribution applies and \(u_c\) has negligible uncertainty, \(U=2u_c\) defines an interval with approximately 95% confidence and \(U=3u_c\) greater than 99%. Table B.1 gives \(t\)-factors; for example, if \(\nu_{\text{eff}}=8\), \(k_{95}=2.3\) rather than 2.0.
- Reporting examples use a nominal 100 g mass standard: \(m_s=(100.02147 \pm 0.00070)\) g with \(u_c=0.35\) mg and \(k=2\) gives approximately 95% confidence; a second example uses \(k=2.26\) based on \(t\) for \(\nu=9\); a third reports \(u_c=0.35\) mg with approximately 68% confidence. An end-gauge calibration uncertainty budget example gives combined standard uncertainty \(u_c(l)=34\) nm.
Methods
- Design: consensus/guideline document, the 1994 second edition of NIST TN 1297, based on the CIPM 1981 recommendation and the ISO *Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement*; intended for NIST measurement results.
- Data or sample: no empirical sample; illustrative examples include a nominal 100 g mass standard and an end-gauge calibration uncertainty budget.
- Main analysis: conceptual and policy guidance with formulas, including the law of propagation of uncertainty Eq. (A-3), Type A standard deviation of the mean Eq. (A-5), Type B assumed distributions, the Welch-Satterthwaite effective degrees of freedom, and \(t\)-distribution coverage factors.
Limitations
- Stated in the paper: the guidance is not NIST policy unless directly quoted; the Technical Note does not give detailed statistical techniques for Type A evaluations; Type B degrees of freedom are “more problematic”; the coverage-factor procedure is approximate and “should not be interpreted as being rigourous”; and it is generally not possible to know all uses of a measurement result.
- Stated in the paper: Type B evaluations depend on scientific judgment and available information, and Type A evaluations based on limited data are not necessarily more reliable than soundly based Type B evaluations.
- Evident from the text: this is a policy/guidance document rather than an empirical validation study, and its numerical examples are illustrative rather than generalizable results.

The reliability of evaluations of components of uncertainty depends on the quality of the information available.

For some commercial, industrial, and regulatory applications of NIST results, a measure of uncertainty that defines an interval about the measurement result within which the value of the measurand is confidently believed to lie is often required.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-03, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-03 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
