The paper has a useful reference list. The URL for the lab manual noted in Reference 15 does not work, but the following URL does:
<http://www.phy.uct.ac.za/people/buffler/Introduction%20to%20Measurement%20manual%20(UCT%20Physics).pdf>

The GUM approach is in line with the current standards of all the international organizations dealing with measurement technology.
