Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods glossary treats repeatability as the short-term part of measurement precision, the variability seen when the instrument, operator, setup and ambient environment are all held the same, and reproducibility as the total measurement precision, which takes in the long-term variability and the variation from one instrument or laboratory to another.
