| 1.10 | background indication | ||
| Indication obtained from a phenomenon, body, or substance similar to the one under investigation, but for which a quantity of interest is supposed not to be present or is not contributing to the indication. | |||
| Note: | In VIM 4.2, this concept is termed “blank indication” with “background indication” as an alternate term. However, since blank indication refers to the explicit use of a blank material in analytical chemistry, it should be distinguished from the concept ‘background indication’. | ||
