40、vestigate potential statistical bias be-tween the reporting laboratories. Competent statistical assis-tance is recommended during this investigation.At a minimum,the two parties should take a homogenous group of testspecimens from the lot of material in question. The testspecimens should then be ran

41、domly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for retesting. The average results from thetwo laboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing is begun. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must b
