MEASURAND : Mass fraction of nitrate in a calibration solution

The key comparison reference value, xR, is chosen to be the preparation value, as explained on page 6 of the CCQM-K59 Final Report. Its expanded uncertainty, UR, corresponds to the coverage factor k = 2.

xR = 1.0168 g/kg, UR = 0.0007 g/kg

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in g/kg: Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui = (ULab i2 + UR2)1/2.

Pair-wise degrees of equivalence are not computed for this key comparison.
