Abstract:
After a brief description of the reference systems for the calibration of the electromagnetic field meters set up at IEN and the Ivrea Department of ARPA, the procedures for the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty are discussed, with reference to the problem of identifying and quantifying the different uncertainty components. which are due both to the field meter characteristics and to the measurement procedure and conditions. The problem of how to compare a measurement result, which consists of the measurement value and its associated uncertainty, with a limit fixed by the standards is also faced.
