MEASURAND : SIR equivalent activity of 141Ce
| Key comparison reference value: The SIR reference value for this radionuclide is xR = 266.00 MBq, with a standard uncertainty uR = 0.54 MBq. xR is computed from the mean of the participant results. |
| The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the 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,  , see Appendix 2 of the Final Report. |
| The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms: Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. The approximation Uij ~ 2(ui2 + uj2)1/2 is used for the computation of the pair-wise degrees of equivalence. |
