Abstract

The guard banding approach is tested to meet the legal requirements for NAWIs. Different guard band multipliers were tried to compare the customer and manufacturer risks when initial and subsequent verification or service inspection were done. The results show that the producer’s risk is always greater than the customer’s risk, no matter if the metrological control is for initial and subsequent verification or service inspection.
