1 Ascertained from the calibration certificate for the standard used

2 Not calculated at this time. Set equal to the uncertainty from 1

3 Obtained from the manufacturer's specifications

4 From M3003 obtaining uncertainties

5 From M3003 obtaining uncertainties

6 From M3003 obtaining uncertainties; mass standards are stainless steel

7 One operator, one weight. Standard deviation calculated among ten readings at 20 grams divided by the square root of 10.

This template for a simplified uncertainty budget is provided with the compliments of the Calibration Laboratory Assessment Program (CLAS)
of the National Research Council Canada who assumes no responsibility or liability for any unintentional errors. It remains the user's responsibility
to validate the calculations and to confirm suitability for the particular purpose.
The template is designed for simple cases when:
- the components of uncertainty can be treated as independent of each other;
- dominant components of uncertainty can be estimated with reasonably high confidence; and
- the measurement result is measured directly or is computed through a linear equation involving only multiplication and/or division (e.g., W = V x I).
