The number of data points will vary depending upon your laboratory’s needs, and whether you are testing for accuracy only or for accuracy and precision. There are published standards (e.g. ASTM E-1154) that recommend specific numbers of data points to be used; however, there are no mandated number of data points that need to be used.
