MEASURAND            Air kerma

Radiation quality   10 kV

 

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

 

The degree of equivalence of Labi with respect to xR,i is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi  - 1 where xi is the air kerma determined by Labi relative to the reference value determined by the BIPM standard and Ui = 2u, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in mGy/Gy. In evaluating ui for BIPM comparisons, account is taken of correlation between the relative standard uncertainty of air kerma determined by Labi , uLab i and uR,i (see the BIPM.RI(I)-K2 Summary Report dated September 2003 or the relevant Final Report). For regional comparisons, additional linking uncertainties are included (see the APMP.RI(I)-K2 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 (see the BIPM.RI(I)-K2 Summary Report dated September 2003). For regional comparisons involving secondary standards, this includes correlation related to traceability (see the APMP.RI(I)-K2 Final Report).
