BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Ho-166m and EURAMET.RI(II)-K2.Ho-166m
MEASURAND Equivalent activity of 166mHo
Key comparison reference value xR is the SIR reference value for this radionuclide where xR = 9.959 MBq, with a standard uncertainty uR = 0.022 MBq (see section 4.1 of the Final Report). xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i.
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, Ui = 2[(1 - 2/n)ui2 + (1/n2)Σui2]1/2 when each laboratory has contributed to the calculation of xR.
The degrees of equivalence are also given in relative terms by Di = (xi - xR) /xR and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in kBq/MBq.
The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in EURAMET.RI(II)-K2.Ho-166m, having been normalized to the value of PTB as the linking laboratory.
The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in EURAMET.RI(II)-K2.Ho-166m 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 as none of these laboratories contributed to the computation of the key comparison reference value xR.
These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Ho-166m table of equivalence to participants in EURAMET.RI(II)-K2.Ho-166m.
