WRA Decision Rule Policy

For routine testing, WRA Laboratory does not give any test report with pass or fail comment and hence, measurement uncertainty (MU) is not calculated for samples covered under this category.
If laboratory offers testing against a national or international specifications, however, it does not report the results as pass / fail or comply / not-comply, but instead issues the numerical values then measurement uncertainty (MU) is not calculated . In such a case WRA lab is not actually determining whether the item tested conforms (i.e. it is not making a statement of conformity), but instead is providing the result to the customer for them to determine compliance. However, if any client asks for measurement uncertainty (MU) then lab provides measurement uncertainty (MU) to client so that the customer can make an informed decision especially
If results fall around the specification cut-off limits.
If client asks for test report with clear compliance statement like pass or fail against a specification or client requirements then laboratory gives compliance statement after considering measurement uncertainty (MU) especially if results fall around the specification cut-off limits.Laboratory does not give any compliance statement without reference of specification or if client has not given any requirement.
In case of qualitative test parameters, laboratory gives compliance statement without considering measurement uncertainty (MU).
WRA laboratory does not give any opinion or interpretation of test data with NABL accreditation.
