Description
Summary:It is noticed that the conventional interpretation of systematic errors (or, what is the same, the list of varieties of systematic errors) generally reflects the actual situation, which does not exclude some refilling and specification with the appearance of new types of measurements and the sophistication of the existing ones. These additions should not mean the abolition of the general metrological, time-tested classification. In recent decades, trends have appeared aimed at replacing the meanings of terms and definitions with those uncharacteristic of them, or at introducing terms that have no real meaning at all into metrological practice. This, in turn, led to the emergence of erroneous concepts ensuring the accuracy of the results of quantitative chemical analysis and to the creation of far from perfect regulatory documents, which, among other reasons, was due to an uncritical attitude to international standards. Such concepts bring inaccuracies and erroneous recommendations into monographs and textbooks containing sections related to the metrological aspects of chemical analysis.
