How are the minimum and maximum values, and percentage error applied?
When a results is submitted it is compared to the minimum and maximum values for its sample type specification, also depending whether the lab or client specifications are selected. If the limits are not exceeded it is reported normally as ‘in range’ If the result exceeds the limits, the error percentage is applied to it and it is again measured against the valid range limits. If it then falls in range, it is reported as ‘in error range’.
