During the past year, A2LA has compiled information regarding the classification of common test
methods according to the A2LA Policy on Measurement Uncertainty for Testing Laboratories. Following
is a list of example classifications, which has been reviewed by the A2LA Materials Testing Technical
Advisory Committee.
A laboratory shall have a procedure for the determination of uncertainty for test methods
regardless of its applicability. For tests covered under ISO/IEC 17025, Note 2 of 5.4.6.2, as well
as for qualitative test results, assessing the capability of the laboratory to evaluate measurement
uncertainty of those test results is not required. The following decision tree provides criteria for
the evaluation of a test method.
It is imperative to note that the A2LA Policy is intended as a means to facilitate transition to
compliance with ISO/IEC 17025, and is subject to change, as additional guidance is made available
internationally. In addition, the list below is intended to provide examples of how the listed methods
were typically categorized. These classifications are dependent on the particular circumstances in a
laboratory, and may not apply in all cases. The fact that a method is listed below in Category I or II
does not absolve a laboratory from compliance with 5.4.6.2 of ISO/IEC 17025 or the need to address
measurement uncertainty.

Note: Category II test(s) may include Chemistry tests if limits (+/-) on inputs and report information is specified.
Note: If the dimensional testing measurement serves as a link in a traceability chain and the laboratory has been
assessed to the A2LA Calibration Program Requirements, the dimensional test will be classified as a Category V
test. All other quantitative dimensional tests will be considered a Category IV test, and all qualitative
dimensional tests will be considered a Category I test.
