  • Key comparison CCQM-K18

The key comparison reference value, xR, is computed as the median of results of all participants except INPL. Its standard uncertainty, uR, is the standard uncertainty of the median.

xR = 10.1985 and uR = 0.0019

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i 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), Ui = 2(ui2 + uR2)1/2.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj = xi - xj and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2),
Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2.
No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are explicitely computed.
  • Linking CCQM-K18.1 to CCQM-K18

SMU provides the linkage between both key comparisons, as explained on page 9 of the CCQM-K18.1 Final Report.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in CCQM-K18.1 with respect to the CCQM-K18 key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms:
Di = DSMU (K18) + xi (K18.1) - xSMU (K18.1) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = [USMU (K18)2 + [2ui (K18.1)]2 + [2uSMU (K18.1)]2]1/2.

No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are explicitely computed.
