powtarzalne

Powtarzalne is a Polish adjective meaning repeatable or reproducible, depending on context. It is formed from the verb powtarzać (to repeat) with the suffix -alne, and its related noun is powtarzalność, describing the property of being repeatable.

In technical usage, powtarzalność is most closely associated with repeatability in metrology and quality assurance. It denotes the degree to which repeated measurements under identical conditions yield the same result. High powtarzalność implies low random error and stable conditions; low powtarzalność indicates greater variability even when conditions are unchanged. The concept is often discussed alongside reproducibility, which concerns variation when conditions differ (for example, different instruments, operators, locations, or times).

In manufacturing and testing, powtarzalne processes or tests are those that can be executed multiple times with consistent outcomes, supporting process control, capability studies, and quality assurance.

In computing and software testing, powtarzalne tests refer to test cases that can be run again with the same inputs and environment to reproduce the same outcomes.

Notes and usage: In everyday Polish, powtarzalne simply means repeatable, but in technical discourse it carries a precise statistical sense related to measurement variability. The term is part of a broader distinction between conditions that preserve results (repeatability) and those that may alter results (reproducibility).
