L'erreur systématique [...] se répète et se cumule à chaque mesure. Elle est le plus souvent due aux imprécisions de l'instrument(qualité des composants, défauts de réglages.) et aux contraintes de sa mise œuvre. L'influence de ces erreurs peut souvent être évaluée par calcul, et prise en compte dans la détermination finale. 3, record 1, French, - erreur%20syst%C3%A9matique

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The accuracy of a method is a measure of the ability of the method to provide accurate results. The accuracy of a result must not be confused with its precision. A determination may be made with great precision and the standard deviation of a number of determinations on the same consignment of coal may therefore be low, but the results will only be accurate if they are free from bias. 1, record 2, English, - accuracy

Étroitesse de l’accord entre le résultat expérimental et la vraie valeur. 1, record 2, French, - degr%C3%A9%20d%27exactitude
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le degré d’exactitude d’une méthode est une mesure de l'aptitude de la méthode à fournir des résultats exacts. Il en résulte que le degré d’exactitude d’un résultat ne doit pas être confondu avec sa fidélité. Une détermination peut être faite avec une grande fidélité et l'écart-type d’un certain nombre de déterminations sur la même livraison de charbon peut donc être faible, mais les résultats ne seront exacts que s’ils sont exempts d’erreur systématique. 1, record 2, French, - degr%C3%A9%20d%27exactitude
