BIPM.RI(II)-K1.I-123 and EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123
MEASURAND : Equivalent activity of 123I
• Key comparison BIPM.RI(II)-K1.I-123
| Key comparison reference value: The SIR reference value for this radionuclide is xR = 120.25 MBq, with a standard uncertainty, uR = 0.41 MBq, see section 4.1 of the Final Report. |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. With n the number of laboratories,  when each laboratory has contributed to the computation of xR, see Metrologia, 42, 140-144. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Uij ~ 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2 is used for the computation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence. |
• Linking EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123 to BIPM.RI(II)-K1.I-123
|
The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123 having been normalized to the value of the LNE-LNHB and IRMM as linking laboratories (see Final Report). |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123 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), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2 is used in the Matrix of equivalence. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j, one participant in BIPM.RI(II)-K1.I-123 and one in EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123, or both participants in EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123, is given by a pair of terms expressed in MBq: Dij = Di - Dj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), approximated by Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2 - 2ful2)1/2 with l being the linking laboratory when each laboratory is from the EUROMET and f is the correlation coefficient. |
| These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.I-123 Matrix of equivalence to all participants in EUROMET.RI(II)-K2.I-123. |
