MEASURAND : Equivalent activity of 58Co
|
Key comparison reference value: |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. With n the number of laboratories,  when each laboratory has contributed to the computation of xR, see Appendix 2 of the Final Report. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms: Dij =(Di - Dj) = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Uij ~ 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2 is used in for the computation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence. |
|
The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Co-58 having been normalized to the value of the NMIJ as the linking laboratory. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Co-58 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), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2 is used in the Matrix of equivalence as none of these laboratories contributed to the computation of the key comparison reference value xR. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j, one participant in BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Co-58 and one in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Co-58, or both participants in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Co-58, is given by a pair of terms expressed in MBq: Dij = Di - Dj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), approximated by Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2 - 2ful2)1/2 with l being the linking laboratory when each laboratory is from APMP and f is the correlation coefficient. |
| These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Co-58 Matrix of equivalence to all participants in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Co-58. |
