A Sierpiński set is an uncountable subset of such that is countable for every set of Lebesgue measure zero. Equivalently it is enough to test Borel null sets, because every null set is contained in a Borel null set. Uncountability and countable intersection with every null set are both required. This is the measure analogue of the category-based Luzin set condition; it does not say that itself is measurable.
