- Definition "number which expresses the desired level of confidence and which is associated with the expanded measurement uncertainty" Reference "Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/808 of 22 March 2021 on the performance of analytical methods for residues of pharmacologically active substances used in food-producing animals and on the interpretation of results as well as on the methods to be used for sampling "
- Comment The value of the coverage factor k is chosen on the basis of the desired level of confidence. Typically, k is in the range 2 to 3. Because enough experiments were done so the degrees of freedom do not affect the coverage factor, in the present case k = 2 was chosen, so the value of the measurand will lie within that range (+ U) with 95% confidence.
