Run Test Precision Matrices    3Q 2008

On-track to setting test limits

It is imperative for the industry to differentiate between oils that meet GF-5 requirements and those that do not.  A test matrix is set up to ensure that each participating testing laboratory has sufficient precision to differentiate between the reference oils.  This step is critical to eventually accepting the tests and setting the limits. Currently, the industry is preparing to run the Sequence VID Precision Matrix.
