Rounding of mean results

Say my specification is 99 - 101% (0 dp)

Just as an example, If my replicate results = 101.49 and 101.49 (both reps meet this spec)

Our procedures state the round the mean to 1 dp

In this rease scenario, the mean would be reported as 101.5

Now technically this fails SPEC right or would it pass?

I know ideally you report as per whatever precision your spec states, however a particular site proceduralised the rounding of individual and mean results this way.

The following rules in the USP general notices which are freely present on USP website are benficial
