MEASURAND : SIR equivalent activity of 241Am
| Key comparison reference value: The SIR reference value for this radionuclide is xR = 2055.8 MBq, with a standard uncertainty uR = 2.8 MBq, see section 4.1 of the Final Report dated November 2007. |
| The degree of equivalence of 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), both expressed in MBq. With n the number of laboratories,  when each laboratory has contributed to the computation of xR. |
|
The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in CCRI(II)-K2.Am-241 having been normalized using the SIR measurement of the NPL undiluted solution of the CCRI(II)-K2.Am-241 comparison. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in CCRI(II)-K2.Am-241 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 in the Matrix of equivalence as none of these laboratories contributed to the computation of xR. |
|
The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in COOMET.RI(II)-K2.Am-241 having been normalized to the SIR measurement of the VNIIM solution of the COOMET.RI(II)-K2.Am-241 comparison. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in COOMET.RI(II)-K2.Am-241 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 in the Matrix of equivalence as none of these laboratories contributed to the computation of xR. |
These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Am-241 Matrix of equivalence to all participants in the CCRI(II)-K2.Am-241 and the COOMET.RI(II)-K2.Am-241 comparisons.
