BIPM.QM-K1 is a key comparison for ozone reference standards and capabilities coordinated by the BIPM. It will be run as an ongoing key comparison, with a call for participants every two years. The first cycle of BIPM.QM-K1 will be carried out during the period 2007-2008.

Additional note for NIST SRP users: Purchase and installation of upgrade kits The purchase of SRP upgrade kits is not part of the comparison protocol. However all SRP kits must be purchased from the NIST. Laboratories wishing to have their kits installed at the BIPM should contact the NIST at least three months prior to their intended visit date to the BIPM, and receive confirmation from the NIST that the kit will be constructed and delivered to their laboratory sufficiently in advance to send or bring the kit to the BIPM with the SRP; otherwise the laboratory will need to revise the date for their comparison.
The costs for installation charged by the BIPM will be 760€. Laboratories should send requests for quotations to Joële Viallon, and the BIPM will require a purchase order number from laboratories prior to the installation date.
Requests for quotes for the construction and delivery of SRP kits by the NIST should be sent to James Norris (james.norris @ nist.gov) and Frank Guenther (franklin.guenther @ nist.gov).
The BIPM was also the coordinating laboratory for a previous CCQM comparison of national surface-ozone standards, CCQM-P28, completed in March 2005.
