The US Navy has a policy of presenting the capability and accuracy of test equipment in terms of engineering tolerances and measurement reliability. Industry tends to discuss these same characteristics in terms of measurement uncertainty and confidence levels. The concepts are closely related and these relationships are described mathematically. Risk probabilities are key to assessing the meaning of capability and accuracy measures. In addition to discussing calibration risks, risks to the end item are also discussed.
