MEASURAND : pH value of tetroxalate buffer
Measurements at 15 °C
NOMINAL VALUE : pH ~ 1.7

The key comparison reference value, pa0R, is obtained as the weighted mean of the results from the participants excluding INPL and VNIIFTRI measurement results. The standard uncertainty, uR, of pa0R is calculated according to the external consistency method (see page 11 of CCQM-K20 Final Report).

pa0R = 1.7833 and uR = 0.0010

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (pa0i - pa0R) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2.

No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are calculated for this comparison.
