Measurement repeatability
Measurement precision under repeatability conditions — the tightest, most flattering precision an instrument and operator can show.
VIM (JCGM 200:2012) 2.21
Intermediate precision condition
A condition set spanning the same procedure and location over an extended period, allowing other factors (operator, reference standard, time) to vary.
VIM (JCGM 200:2012) 2.22
Gauge R&R
A measurement systems analysis estimating the variation due to the gauge (repeatability) and the operators (reproducibility), commonly expressed as a percentage of total variation or tolerance.

Metrological compatibility of measurement results
The property of a set of results for a stated measurand such that the absolute difference of any pair is smaller than a chosen multiple of the standard uncertainty of that difference — the VIM's formal test for "do these results agree".
VIM (JCGM 200:2012) 2.47
Normalized error (En)
The interlaboratory comparison statistic En = (x − X) / √(U²(x) + U²(X)). |En| ≤ 1 indicates agreement within expanded uncertainties; it is the standard scoring for calibration proficiency tests.

Measurement precision
Closeness of agreement between indications or measured values from replicate measurements under specified conditions — usually expressed as a standard deviation, variance, or coefficient of variation.
