The measurement uncertainties developed in this Appendix are based the IWG MU work and its Document for Reference which describes a general approach to estimate measurement uncertainties (GRBP/2022/9/Rev.2). The impact of the quantities on the expanded uncertainty has been evaluated separately for run-to-run, day-to-day, vehicle-to-vehicle and site-to-site variations. Some of the different impacts are based on calculations from tolerances in Annex 3, while others are based on experiences.
