In many testing laboratories, it can be necessary to qualify a new test method, instrument or lab itself with respect to one or more performance characteristics. One such key characteristic is bias, or mutual agreement of average test results run on the same material. A proposed ASTM standard will aid in the determination of bias equivalency. ASTM WK37659 , Guide for Testing for Bias Equivalency…
