CCQM-K1.c, EUROMET.QM-K1.c and APMP.QM-K1.c
MEASURAND : Amount-of-substance fraction of Nitrogen monoxide in Nitrogen
NOMINAL VALUE : 100 µmol/mol
| Key comparison reference value: there is no single reference value for this comparison, the value xigrav is taken as the reference value for laboratory i. |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xigrav) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in µmol/mol, Ui = 2(ui2 + uigrav2)1/2. |
|
The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms: |
| The gravimetric value xigrav-EUR is taken as the reference value for laboratory i participant in EUROMET.QM-K1.c. |
| The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in EUROMET.QM-K1.c with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di-EUR = (xi-EUR - xigrav-EUR) and Ui-EUR, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in µmol/mol, Ui-EUR = 2(ui-EUR2 + uigrav-EUR2)1/2. |
NMi-VSL acted as the pilot laboratory in both key comparisons, EUROMET.QM-K1.c and CCQM-K1.c. The results of the laboratories having participated in both comparisons (NMi-VSL, NPL, BNM-LNE, and VNIIM) are given in the following table, except those of VNIIM that deviated significantly from the key comparison reference value.

Since the results of the three laboratories agree with the reference values within the claimed uncertainties in both comparisons, they provide some validation that the gravimetric values act as valid reference values.
It follows that:
| The degrees of equivalence relative to the reference value obtained in EUROMET.QM-K1.c are transferred to CCQM-K1.c without correction: Di = Di-EUR and Ui = Ui-EUR |
|
The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j participating in CCQM-K1.c or in EUROMET.QM-K1.c is given by a pair of terms: |
|
These statements make it possible to extend the CCQM-K1.c matrix of equivalence to all participants in EUROMET.QM-K1.c. |
In order to link the APMP.QM-K1.c results to those of CCQM-K1.c, a small uncertainty term is added to the uncertainty of the gravimetric value delivered by KRISS for the transfer standard. The gravimetric value used to calculate the degrees of equivalence is equal to 97.94 µmol/mol with standard uncertainty 0.40 µmol/mol.
No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed from the APMP.QM-K1.c results.

| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xigrav) - (xj - xjgrav) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in µmol/mol, Uij = 2(ui2 + uj2 + uigrav2 + ujgrav2)1/2. |
