So, in effect I didn't need any further literature. Sure, I recently had another training on the general subject of managing test equiment, which just barely touched the topic of measurement uncertainty. But nevertheless as you apparently already ordered some literature, I'd be keen to hear your opinion on it, as I was planning to buy something on the topic myself.
