Radiation qualities     W/Mo 23 kV, W/Mo 28 kV, W/Mo 30 kV, W/Mo 35 kV and W/Mo 50 kV

 

For a comparison with laboratory i, the key comparison reference value is the BIPM air-kerma determination xR,i and its standard uncertainty uR,i.

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to xR,i is given by a pair of terms: Di and Ui = 2 ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in mGy/Gy.
In evaluating ui for BIPM comparisons, account is taken of correlation between uLab i and uR,i (see the relevant Final Report).

When required, the degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j can be evaluated by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj and Uij = 2uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in mGy/Gy. In evaluating uij, account should be taken of correlation between ui and uj
