MEASURAND : pH value of an unknown phosphate buffer
Measurements at 15 °C, 25 °C, 37 °C. Optional: 5 °C and 50 °C. 
NOMINAL VALUE : pH = 7.5 
| The key comparison reference value, pHR, is obtained by calculating the weighted mean including the institutes using primary standards for which the results passed a previously defined consistancy filter. t = 15 °C : pHR = 7.5561 and uR = 0.0009 t = 25 °C : pHR = 7.5246 and uR = 0.0008 t = 37 °C : pHR = 7.5013 and uR = 0.0009 t = 5 °C : pHR = 7.6043 and uR = 0.0015 t = 50 °C : pHR = 7.4960 and uR = 0.0029 | 
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (pHi - pHR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = 2((1 - 2wi) ui2 + uR2)1/2, where wi represents the weight of laboratory i. |
