    DESCRIPTION
    Procedure for Decision rule

    Decision Rule is a statement of rules describing how you will use the Measurement Uncertainty (MU) in
    relation to the measurement results and tolerance to come up with a pass or failed decision.

    2. SCOPE

    This procedure is applicable to statement of conformity in all the test reports issued by the
    laboratory.

    3. RESPONSIBILITY

    Technical Manager is responsible person for issuing of the verified reports.

    4. REFERENCES

    Clause 3.7 & 7.1.3 of the Quality Manual

    PROCEDURE

    5.1.1 Decision Rule Implementation is mentioned or implied to be implemented in various activities


    such as in contract review, reporting of results, interpretation of results, verification process, and
    conformity assessment.

    Whenever we hear or read the term conformity assessment or statement of conformity, it is


    referring to the decision rule to determine conformance with specifications – the pass or fail decision.

    The following are some of the related activities (with clauses) that prompt us when to implement the
    decision rule as per ISO 17025.

    1. When it is required by a customer as part of the contract review as per clause 7.1.3.


    – The initiation of a decision rule implementation starts when a customer requests it. Therefore, it
    is our job to ensure that we get the request of the customer regarding their tolerance and the
    decision they want to use, on the other hand, it should be clear for us (and the customer) that the
    customer has NOT required it.
    2. When the uncertainty of measurements has an effect on the validity of the measurement results
    (clause 7.8.3.1c) – This is the main requirement of a decision rule, accounting for the
    measurement uncertainty to determine the validity of measurement results. During the
    interpretation of results to determine compliance with specifications a decision rule that will be
    displayed in the report based on interpretations of the lab.
    3. The certificate shall include where relevant, a statement of conformity with requirements, or
    specifications

    DESCRIPTION
    Procedure for Decision rule

    4. During the reporting of Statements of conformity – it should be clear what decision rule is used
    during the interpretation of results for conformity assessment.
    And in connection with this, any person that is assigned to assess a statement of conformity should be
    authorized.

    When Not to Apply ISO 17025 Decision Rule?

    1. If there is a standard guide or method that we follow, usually prescribed by regulatory bodies like
    ASTM standards and government-provided acceptance criteria, there is no need to implement the
    decision rule prescribed by ISO 17025. 
    2. When a customer requires a conformity assessment without accounting the Measurement
    Uncertainty (MU).
    3. When MU is negligible that it is not needed to be included in the Decision Rule – this happens
    when you have very accurate instruments. But in reality, this is difficult or very expensive to
    attain.
