الوصف: According to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 statements of conformity must identify the decision rule applied, they must be risk-based and account for uncertainty. In legal metrology and often among testing and calibration laboratories, there is the need to reuse measurement-based conformity statements to disseminate acceptability of measurement results. In particular, decision rules are required that allow the statement of conformity for a linear combination of quantities for which, in turn, conformity statements are available. These decision rules should be simple and use information that is typically available, and they should comply with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, again by accounting for the level of risk and for uncertainty following the suite of documents of the GUM (the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement). Existing guidance requires the input and evaluation of standard uncertainties, or even of distributions, to derive statements of conformity, and as such may be inapplicable, or the required effort may deter practitioners. After reviewing the existing guidance, this research will identify typical settings which lead to particularly simple decision rules for stating conformity for linear combinations of quantities. These new decision rules are based on the specification limits and on information implicitly available in the decision rules of each input quantity. The rules will be proven, they are generalizable, intended to comply with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and the GUM documents, and suitable to easily state the risk of not conforming to the weighted sum of the input specifications. For practitioners, a quick reference on feasible conformity statements for linear combinations of quantities is provided. The applicability of and need for the new decision rules are illustrated by two examples involving the legally regulated weighing of long vehicles and of net loads.
