MEASURAND : Mass fraction of Pb in red wine

The key comparison reference value, xR, is computed as the mean of 9 results (all results except those obtained by INM(RO) and by INMETRO).
Its standard uncertainty, uR, is calculated as the standard deviation of the mean. Its expanded uncertainty UR = kRuR is obtained using the coverage factor kR = 2.3, which corresponds to 8 effective degrees of freedom.

xR = 2.99 ng/g and UR = 0.06 ng/g

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 Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2, both expressed in ng/g.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2, both expressed in ng/g.
