IEC GUIDE 115 Ed. 3.0 b:2023

Full Description

This document presents a practical approach to the application of measurement uncertainty to electrical safety testing conducted within the electrotechnical sector. It is specifically conceived for use in IECEE Schemes as well as by testing laboratories engaged in testing electrical products to national safety standards. It describes the application of measurement uncertainty principles.

This document provides guidance on making measurement uncertainty calculations and gives some examples relating to measurement uncertainty calculations for product conformity assessment testing.

NOTE The IEC Standardization Management Board (SMB) has decided that Guides such as this one can have mandatory requirements which shall be followed by all IEC committees developing technical work that falls within the scope of the Guide, as well as guidance which may or may not be followed. The mandatory requirements in this Guide are identified by the use of "shall". Statements that are only for guidance are identified by using the verb "should".
