MEASURAND : Sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material
|
The key comparison reference value, xR, and its combined standard uncertainty, uR, are calculated as explained in section 5.1 on page 10 of the Final Report. |
|
The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di and Ui, its expanded uncertainty |
| No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed for this comparison. |
MEASURAND : Sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material
xi: measurement results reported by laboratory i for the total impurity of zinc expressed as the sum of the mass fractions of Ag, Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Tl in the bulk of the Zn material
ui: combined standard uncertainty of xi
ULab i: expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of xi

Laboratory measurements carried out from September 2012 to March 2013.
