  • CCQM-K9 and CCQM-K9.1 (subsequent bilateral SMU - PTB)

MEASURAND : pH value of phosphate buffer
Sample 1 : [0.025 mol kg-1 KH2PO4 + 0.025 mol kg-1 Na2HPO4]
Measurements at 15 °C

NOMINAL VALUE : pH = 6.9 at 25 °C

The key comparison reference value, pHR, is obtained as the variance-weighted mean of the results from the participants. The standard uncertainty, uR, of pHR is calculated according to the external consistency concept (see page 11 of the CCQM-K9 Final Report).

pHR = 6.8975 and uR = 0.0005

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (pHi - pHR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2. Note that this gives a conservative estimate of Ui.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di - Dj = pHi - pHj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2.

Within its uncertainty, the performance of PTB is assumed to be similar in the original full comparison and in the subsequent bilateral comparison between SMU and PTB. Following this bilateral comparison:

– the new degree of equivalence of SMU with respect to the key comparison reference value is DSMU(s) = pHSMU(s) - pHPTB(s) + DPTB and
USMU(s) = 2(uSMU(s)2 + uPTB(s)2 + uR2)1/2;

– the new degree of equivalence between SMU and any other laboratory j is
DSMU(s) j = DSMU(s) - Dj and USMU(s) j = 2(uSMU(s)2 + uPTB(s)2 + uj2)1/2.

  • Linking CCQM-K9.2 results to CCQM-K9 results
The linkage process is detailed in Section 13 of the CCQM-K9.2 Final Report and is based on the performance of the common participants, PTB and VNIIFTRI, in both key comparisons. It leads to the computation of the degrees of equivalence of participants in CCQM-K9.2 only, relative to the CCQM-K9 key comparison reference values, and allows to extend the graph of equivalence obtained in CCQM-K9 at temperature 15 °C.

No pair-wise degrees of equivalence involving participants in CCQM-K9.2 only are computed.
  • Linking APMP.QM-K9 results to CCQM-K9 results
The linkage process is detailed in Section 8 of the APMP.QM-K9 Final Report and is ensured by the performance of SMU, NIM and NMIJ, which participated in APMP.QM-K9 and also in one of the key comparisons CCQM-K9, CCQM-K9 (subsequent) or CCQM-K9.2.
It leads to the computation of the degrees of equivalence of participants in APMP.QM-K9 only, relative to the CCQM-K9 key comparison reference values, and allows to extend the graph of equivalence obtained in CCQM-K9 at temperature 15 °C.
