Proposals for Ensuring the Validity of Force Measurement Measures

Abstract

Results validity is a cornerstone in structuring ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Results validity is the backbone for measurement quality. Validity of results may be ensured through different techniques, this article is directed to interested parties in force measurements to present the importance of ensuring the quality of results obtained from force proving instruments, force testing machines, and force standard machines to assure quality of life. Different proposals for ensuring the validity of results are given in detail. Each proposal is feathered by a measurement procedure, data analysis techniques, evaluation process, and acceptance criteria considering the associated risks. The proposed procedures are supportive methods in the force measurement field. They may be considered as an initiation to set a general guide in ensuring the quality and validity of force measurement results.
