    Quality Control Standards

    ASTM's quality control standards provide the mathematical and statistical procedures instrumental in the evaluation of experiments and test methods. These procedures encompass the information-gathering stage of an experiment where variation is present, and includes the probability sampling process, the determination of the precision and bias of an experiment, and the measurement of the reliability and degree of uncertainty of test results and data. These quality control standards help guide laboratories and their respective scientists and engineers in the careful planning and design of experiments and test procedures.
