| 1.79 | measurement | ||
| Process of experimentally obtaining one or more quantity values that can reasonably be attributed to a quantity. | |||
| Note 1: | Measurement does not apply to nominal properties. | ||
| Note 2: | Measurement implies comparison of quantities or counting of entities. | ||
| Note 3: | Measurement presupposes a description of the quantity commensurate with the intended use of a measurement result, a measurement procedure, and a calibrated measuring system operating according to the specified measurement procedure, including the measurement conditions. | ||
| Source: [VIM 2.1]. | |||
| Note 4: | Measurement is a subordinate concept of determination and so “determination” should not be used when “measurement” applies. | ||
| Note 5: | If a measurement result is assessed with respect to conditions implied by a norm, standard, or specified requirement (i.e., in conformity assessment), measurement is often termed testing. | ||
