CIPM MRA COMPARISON REPORTS

A new indirect key comparison of the standards for absorbed dose to water of the Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais - Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel (LNE-LNHB), France, and of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) was carried out in the ⁶⁰Co radiation beam of the BIPM in June 2026. The comparison result, based on the calibration coefficients for two transfer chambers and evaluated as a ratio of the LNE-LNHB and the BIPM standards for absorbed dose to water, is 1.0004 with a combined standard uncertainty of 3.6 parts in 10³. The results are analysed and presented in terms of degrees of equivalence, suitable for entry in the BIPM key comparison database.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCRI, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
