Accreditation Matters: Why Measurement Uncertainty Matters

Despite what you may have learned from a young age, ALL measurements are wrong, to some degree. But this uncertainty in measurement can be quantified.

NATA’s deputy sector manager for materials, assets and products, Nick Di Cresce, looks at why measurement uncertainty matters, not just for laboratories, but all of us.

This video was launched ahead of National Science Week 2023, as NATA asked; if all measurements are wrong, how do we know which are right, or useful.

Why measurement uncertainty matters is part of its STORIES series looking at the role of accreditation in our everyday lives.
