Etalon; Measurement standard Etalon, measurement standard: measuring instrument, measurement equipment or reference material kept for retention or reproduction the purpose of which is to represent a unit or one or more known values of a single quantity and thus allow for comparison and connection of one measuring instrument with another.

Evidence Demonstration of the activities performed, usually for a submitted product.

Evidence of conformity If a result of measurement Y (measured value y, including measurement uncertainty U) falls within the level of tolerance, conformity with the tolerance is clearly demonstrated and the product is accepted.

Evidence of nonconformity Nonconformity with tolerance is clearly demonstrated if measurement result Y (measured value y, including measurement uncertainty U) is beyond the level of tolerance. In such case, the product shall be rejected.

Extensibility The ease with which a component/module can be altered or extended to, e.g. increase the memory capacity or functionality (cf. ISO 9126 “Software Quality Characteristics”).

Failure mode Within supplier's description of nonconformity, a failure mode is a description of events leading to the occurrence of nonconformity: e.g. “at temperatures below 10 °C, the feeding mechanism is overloaded due to a more difficult operation of the CD drive”. This is part of supplier's description of the nonconformity.
