Performance characteristic of a measurement procedure

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008631",
  "term": "Performance characteristic of a measurement procedure",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A functional quality used to describe and evaluate the capabilities of an analytical measurement procedure, quantifying how well it performs a specific measurement task. These characteristics include accuracy, precision, trueness, sensitivity, selectivity, and the working range. Performance characteristics are determined during method validation studies to assess the fitness-for-purpose of the method, often following guidelines from organizations like ISO or Eurachem.",
