چکیده
L'équation de Horwitz est l'un des premiers paramètres empiriques à un usage en tant que valeur de référence pour les activités de laboratoires de contrôle qualité et des programmes d'essais d'aptitude. Ce document résume le concept de l'équation de Horwitz, des analyses de ses propriétés; propose d'utiliser l'équation dans des laboratoires qui se conforment à la norme ISO / CEI 17025, et considère l'application des protocoles d'essais d'aptitude. Ce travail met l'accent sur une portée juridique et industrielle métrologiques, la discussion entre la communauté scientifique métrologique est citée pour compléter les limites de l'application. The Horwitz equation is one of the first empirical parameters with a usage as a reference value for laboratories quality control activities and proficiency testing programs. This paper summarizes the concept of the Horwitz equation; analyzes its properties; proposes using the equation in laboratories that comply to ISO/IEC 17025; and considers the application for proficiency testing protocols. This work emphasizes on a legal and industrial metrological scope; the discussion among the scientific metrological community is cited to complete limitations of the application.
