To develop and validate a test method they require a complete understanding of the materials, process, and designs of the products being evaluated by the methods. This process involves the establishment of performance characteristics, limitations of the methods and further the identification of the influences that may lead to change in those characteristics. The validation of the test methods is a complex task. It requires an excellent understanding of the uncertainty of the test methods.  The uncertainty can be of different kinds either, systematic, personal, procedural, or instrumental.
