Qualify an explicit out-of-specification source rule without applying or interpreting the rule.

Description

Qualify an explicit out-of-specification source rule.

Quality-control results depend on measurement basis, calibration reference, rounding, limit inclusion and decision rules. A raw result can lie on a different side of a boundary from its reported value. Guard bands and relative differences must retain their exact definitions; a local comparison does not select a valid specification or establish conformance.

Qualify an explicit out-of-specification source rule.

When to use this tool

Use QC Out Of Spec Source Rule when you already have resultRecordId, ruleId, ruleVersion and need to qualify an explicit out-of-specification source rule.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter resultRecordId, ruleId, ruleVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter resultRecordId, ruleId, ruleVersion using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

  "input": {

  "output": {

  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without applying or interpreting the rule. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Apply the documented measurement method, calibration records and complete decision rule when judging a result. Keep raw values, reported values, uncertainty and endpoint inclusion visible; a supplied guard band or replicate term does not select that rule.
