The key comparison reference value xRk for each gauge block k is obtained from the arithmetic mean xak of the participants values xik by adding a constant Ck chosen such that the reference value is the nominal length Lk = xak + Ck. |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value of each gauge block k is given by a pair of terms: the difference Dik and its expanded uncertainty Uik (coverage factor: 2), see equations below. |

| The calculation of the degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is not recommended for comparisons involving several material standards, since it cannot be expressed with a single pair of terms. It would have to be calculated separately for each gauge block k and would then be given by a pair of terms: the difference Dijk and its expanded uncertainty Uijk (coverage factor: 2), see equations below. |
