Portuguese term or phrase: gargalo
A norma internacional ISO/IEC 17025 (adotada no Brasil como NBR ISO/IEC 17025), aplicável à acreditação de laboratórios, tem como gargalo a expressão (em conformidade com o Guia para a Expressão da Incerteza de Medição – GUM – ou outra referência reconhecida nacional ou internacionalmente) da incerteza associada à medição.

I really do not understand what they mean by gargalo in this context.

Explanation:
Ponto de estrangulamento, gargalo ou restrição é uma designação do componente que limita o desempenho ou a capacidade de todo um sistema, que se diz ter um estrangulamento (Chase et al., 1995, p. 842). Trata-se de uma derivação metafórica do gargalo de uma garrafa (Figura 1), na qual a velocidade de saída do líquido é limitada pela dimensão do gargalo (Dicionário, 2009).
