English term or phrase: influence quantity
Definition from evigem.org:
Quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of the measurement. EXAMPLES: a) temperature of a micrometer used to measure length; b) frequency in the measurement of the amplitude of an alternating electric potential difference.

Example sentence(s):
  • The effect of an influence quantity on the measurement process is an interference that generates a systematic error. In clinical chemistry, depending on the molecular entity responsible for an interference, influence quantities may be classified as endogenous or exogenous. Clinical Chemistry
  • This means that there has to be a specified relationship between the influence quantities and the measurand. This relationship is known as the mathematical model. This is an equation that describes how each influence quantity affects the value assigned to the measurand. labnews.co.uk
  • By using the measurement model built to approximately compute the sensitivity coefficient that reflects the uncertainty propagating law of each influence quantity, it is possible to evaluate the result of indirect measurement and its uncertainties. CAT.INIST

And "influensstorhet" is the term used by the governement agency SWEDAC (the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (reference http://www.swedac.se/focal/gnh50s.nsf/4cfb654151c222c4c1256e...$FILE/STAFS_2006_4.pdf). Additionally "influensstorhet" harmonizes with the terms used in other European languages.

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
No  Peter Berntsen (X): I think the translation in the directive is poor. The reader will not always understand what it is. I would like to suggest "påverkande mängd". The influence quantity affects the measured value.

  -> See "post discussion entry": "påverkande mängd"?? Disagree. That is a very obscure Swedish expression. I consider the translation of the Directive quite clear, and the definition corresponds with that given for "påverkande mängd". So "influensstorhet" is
