  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007095",
  "term": "Measurement capability",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The ability to measure a quantity within a specified interval of quantity values, in a specified kind of material, as demonstrated by the measurement uncertainty achieved. It is stated as an interval with an uncertainty, for example lead in drinking water from 1 to 50 micrograms per litre with a relative expanded uncertainty of 10 percent, so it describes a span of values rather than a single smallest quantifiable amount.",
