Default Accuracy of Antenna Testing Ranges

All electrical calibration and testing laboratories issue tables of
claimed accuracies of measurements. Measurement uncertainties stated
on calibration certificates are legally binding. All stated
measurement results must be traceable to International Standards or a
laboratory or testing station loses its status.

Consequently there is no incentive for a laboratory to overstate its
capabilities in its sales literature. Indeed, it is dangerous,
illegal even!

Naturally, laboratories can differ widely, one from another.

It would be interesting to compare laboratory uncertainties with
performance figures claimed by antenna manufacturers. Or anyone else.

Does anyone have typical examples of measurement uncertainties claimed
by antenna testing stations? Answers in decibels please.

A reply from a testing station, at HF or VHF, would be specially
appreciated.
