Rationale

In forensic science, it is critical to assess/estimate the uncertainty associated with measurements and disclose the existing limitations regarding these measurements. Forensic laboratories oversee and achieve compliance for measurement uncertainty through training, established operating procedures, and documentation. ASTM E2764, Standard Practice for Uncertainty Assessment in the Context of Seized-Drug, expired in 2020. This new standard provides minimum criteria for the estimation of uncertainty for quantitative measurements and incorporates elements from E2764, as it relates to measurements in drug analysis.
