This paper, the third of a series of three, presents the final part of an alphabetical index of approximately 1400 terms taken from various international official standards, protocols and guides. The terms listed are those encountered in the analytical sector, related to sampling, quality, conformity assessment, standardisation, measurement and related statistics. The definitions themselves are not included. The purpose of the index is to provide the user with a ready means of establishing whether a particular term has an official definition and if so where it is located. In doing so it makes location of officially defined terms more straightforward and so encourages their use. It also highlights those terms which are defined in several places, indicating the degree of equivalence between the definitions from the different sources. This third part of the index covers R–Z.
