MEASURAND : Length of gauge blocks
TRAVELLING STANDARDS : 10 ceramic gauge blocks

For each nominal value, the APMP.L-K1 reference value, xR, is obtained as the weighted mean excluding outliers and MSL results (see Section 4 of the APMP.L-K1 Final Report). The standard uncertainty, uR, of xR is computed as the internal standard deviation of the weighted mean.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi - xR, and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2) with
Ui = 2(ui2 - uR2 + uA2)1/2; uA is the uncertainty linked to the artefact.
No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are calculated.

Results of key comparison APMP.L-K1 are not linked to any other key comparison results.

For each nominal value, the APMP.L-K1.1 reference value, xR.1, is obtained as the weighted mean excluding outliers and CMS results (see Section 5 of the APMP.L-K1.1 Final Report). The standard uncertainty, uR.1, of xR.1 is computed as the internal standard deviation of the weighted mean.

For each nominal value, the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i participant in APMP.L-K1.1 with respect to the APMP.L-K1.1 reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di.1 = xi .1 - xR.1, and Ui.1, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2) with
Ui.1 = 2(ui.12 - uR.12 + uA.12)1/2; uA.1 is the uncertainty linked to the artefact.

The pair-wise degrees of equivalence are not calculated.

Results of key comparison APMP.L-K1.1 are not linked to any other key comparison results.
However, for each common nominal value, the APMP.L-K1 and APMP.L-K1.1 graphs of equivalence are shown side by side.

Measurements were also carried out at NMIJ in May 2005 (before the beginning of the comparison) and from June to August 2006 (after the end of the comparison). They are not reported here. The degrees of equivalence of NMIJ are computed using the measurement results obtained in September and October 2005.
