MEASURAND : Sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material

The key comparison reference value, xR, and its combined standard uncertainty, uR, are calculated as explained in section 5.1 on page 10 of the Final Report.

xR = 10.88 mg/kg and uR = 0.32 mg/kg

 

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di and Ui, its expanded uncertainty
(k = 2), both expressed in mg/kg, and computed according to equations 7 and 8 on page 25 of the Final report.

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

MEASURAND : Sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material

xi: measurement results reported by laboratory i for the total impurity of zinc expressed as the sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material
ui: combined standard uncertainty of xi
ULab i
: expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of xi

Laboratory measurements carried out from September 2012 to March 2013.
