In CCT-K7 NMISA, MSL and NRC realized systematically higher temperatures, because they were the only laboratories which based their realizations on the recommendation of the Supplementary Information for the ITS-90 to use water with the isotopic composition of standard mean ocean water.
Since the publication of CCT-K7 results, the CIPM approved Recommendation 2 (CI-2005) "Clarification of the definition of the kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature": see on pages 23 and 24 of the EUROMET.T-K7 Final Report for detailed information on the application of this recommendation by the participants.

MEASURAND : Temperature of triple point of water
NOMINAL VALUE : 273.16 K
| The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the results, xi, from all participants, including some laboratories who made corrections for the influence of chemical impurities and isotopic composition, and some who did not. xR = 22 µK (expressed as the difference from the BIPM value). The uncertainty of xR, uR, is calculated as the standard deviation of the mean of the data set. uR = 11 µK. Because the distribution of the pooled data is multimodal, care should be taken when using this quantity for calculating confidence intervals. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui (k = 2), both expressed in µK. The uncertainty includes the participant's uncertainty, the comparison uncertainty and the uncertainty of the key comparison reference value. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms: Dij = (Di - Dj) = (xi - xj) and its expanded uncertainty Uij (k = 2), both expressed in µK. The uncertainty includes both participants' uncertainties and twice the comparison uncertainty. |
| The EUROMET reference value referred to the NMi-VSL reference cell (VSL-094), xR EUR, and its standard uncertainty, uR EUR, are computed from the weighted mean of the individual results, with the exclusion of the CMI and GUM results, as explained in Section 7.1 on page 29 of the EUROMET.T-K7 Final Report: xR EUR = 15.6 µK, and uR EUR = 10.5 µK |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i, participant in EUROMET.T-K7, with respect to the EUROMET reference value is given by a pair of terms: DiEUR = xiEUR - xR EUR, and its expanded uncertainty UiEUR (k = 2), both expressed in µK. |
| The linkage process of EUROMET.T-K7 results to those of CCT-K7 is explained in Section 7.3 on page 36 of the EUROMET.T-K7 Final Report. It is based on the common participation of CEM, IPQ, LNE-INM, NMi-VSL, and SMU in both comparisons. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i, participant in EUROMET.T-K7, with respect to the CCT-K7 key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = DiEUR + dLINK with dLINK = 64.7 µK, and its expanded uncertainty (k = 2) Ui = 2[(UiEUR/2)2 + (uLINK)2]1/2, with uLINK = 19.7 µK, both expressed in µK. |
| Pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed inside EUROMET (see Section 7.2 on page 30 of the EUROMET.T-K7 Final Report). |
| The linkage process of COOMET.T-K7 results to those of CCT-K7 is explained in Section 6 of the COOMET.T-K7 Final Report. It is based on the common participation of VNIIM in both comparisons |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i, participant in COOMET.T-K7, with respect to the CCT-K7 reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di, and its expanded uncertainty (k = 2) Ui, both expressed in µK. |
| No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed inside COOMET.T-K7. |
| The degree of equivalence of INTiBS relative to the CCT-K7 key comparison reference value is computed through the common participation of VSL in EURAMET.T-K7.2 and EUROMET.T-K7 (see Section 6 of the EURAMET.T-K7.2 Final Report). |
|
The degree of equivalence of GUM relative to the CCT-K7 key comparison reference value is computed through the common participation of VSL in EURAMET.T-K7.3 and EUROMET.T-K7 (see Sections 6 and 7 of the EURAMET.T-K7.3 Final Report). |
|
New degrees of equivalence relative to the CCT-K7 key comparison reference value are obtained in EURAMET.T-K7.1 for SMU and CMI, through the common participation of SMU in EURAMET.T-K7.1 and EUROMET.T-K7, taking into account the change of national reference cell at SMU since the completion of EUROMET.T-K7. |
|
The degree of equivalence of VMI-STAMEQ relative to the CCT-K7 key comparison reference value is computed through the common participation of NMIJ in APMP.T-K7 and CCT-K7 (see Section 8 of the APMP.T-K7.1 Final Report). |

MEASURAND : Temperature of triple point of water
NOMINAL VALUE : 273.16 K
The comparison was performed in three stages: 1) each participating laboratory carried out comparisons of the transfer cell with its national standard cell in local conditions; 2) the transfer cells were forwarded together with measurement results to BelGIM, where they were compared with the standard BelGIM cell using its laboratory equipment; and 3) the transfer cells were sent back to laboratories, where they were compared again to the national standard cells in order to determine the stability of the transfer cells.
The measurement results of the participating laboratories are given in section 2, 3, and 4 of the COOMET.T-K7 Final Report.
