Measurement Systems: Design-Stage Uncertainty
CONTENTS
10.1 Design-Stage Uncertainty Analysis
10.2 Design-Stage Uncertainty Estimate of a Measurand
10.3 Design-Stage Uncertainty Estimate of a Result
A measurement result is complete only if it is accompanied by a quantitative expression of its uncertainty. The uncertainty is needed to judge whether the result is adequate for its intended purpose and whether it is consistent with other similar results.

Any measurement that you make, without any knowledge of the uncertainty, is meaningless.
