MEASURAND : Mass fraction of Silicon (Si) as Silicon Oxide (SiO2) in clay
| The key comparison reference value, xR, is computed as the median of all results. Its standard uncertainty, uR, is based on the estimation of the dispersion around the median (see Section 9 of the Final Report). Its expanded uncertainty, UR, is estimated with a coverage factor of 2.57. xR = 658.04 mg/g, uR = 1.91 mg/g, UR = 4.90 mg/g |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in mg/g: Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui (k = 2), computed as explained in Section 10 of the Final Report. Relative values are also computed as Direl = Di/xR and Uirel = Ui/xR. |
| No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed for this key comparison. |
