  • Key comparison CCQM-K36.a

The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the weighted average of the participants' results, with VNIIFTRI, INMETRO, and CENAM excluded (see Section 6 of the CCQM-K36 Final Report) as being identified as discrepant.
Its standard uncertainty, uR, is the standard uncertainty of the weighted average.

xR = 0.506992 S/m and uR = 0.000072 S/m

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i 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).
No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are calculated for this key comparison.
  • Linking key comparison CCQM-K36.1 to CCQM-K36.a

DFM and PTB results are used to establish the link between CCQM-K36.a and CCQM-K36.1.
The linkage process is explained in Section 7 of the CCQM-K36.1 Final Report. It leads to the determination of a linking parameter dR = 0.00738 S/m with standard uncertainty ud = 0.00012 S/m, which makes it possible to compute the degrees of equivalence of CCQM-K36.1 participants.

  • Linking key comparison COOMET.QM-K36 to CCQM-K36.a

VNIIFTRI, SMU, and SE "Ukrmetrteststandard" results are used to establish the link between CCQM-K36.a and COOMET.QM-K36. The VNIIFTRI value obtained in CCQM-K36.a has been corrected by dR. The linkage process is explained in Section 10 of the COOMET.QM-K36 Final Report.

After discussions, INPL and INMETRO submitted revised uncertainty calculations.
The revised values, uINPL = 0.00034 S/m and uINMETRO = 0.0025 S/m, were used in the calculation of the key comparison reference value.
