Summary
A number of basic questions are asked which arise from daily practice in the chemical measurement laboratory “when combining results of chemical measurements.” Answers to these questions have either not (yet) been given so far, or not made properly known to the users concerned, or the answers are unsatisfactory, or they unveil a variety of opinions, if not controversy, or the questions have not been asked yet. A scientific debate and suitable propagation of its conclusions is needed.
