BIPM.EM-K13 and SIM.EM-K1
MEASURAND Resistance
NOMINAL VALUE 1 Ω
The key comparison reference value xR is the BIPM value. Its standard uncertainty is evaluated to be uR = 1.5 × 10-8 and is included in ui .
For laboratories that base their measurements on a calculable capacitor, the uncertainty associated with the use of RK-90, 1 × 10-7, needs to be included in the ui. This is a consequence of the use of the QHR reference at BIPM. Further details can be found here.
The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi and its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), Ui = 2ui, both expressed in 10-8.
The degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j may be calculated, taking into account the correlation introduced by the BIPM measurements.
Linking SIM.EM-K1 to BIPM.EM-K13
The linkage of SIM.EM-K1 results to those of BIPM.EM-K13 is ensured by NIST who participated in both comparisons. The detailed calculation of the linkage is explained in Appendix G of the SIM.EM-K1 Final Report.

SIM.EM-K1
Individual measurements reported by laboratories participant in SIM.EM-K1 are given in Tables 6.1 and 6.2 for both of the transfer instruments: see on pages 13 and 14 of the SIM.EM-K1 Final Report. These are relative difference between the result of measurement of laboratory i and the nominal value 1 ohm.
Measurements were carried out between January 2006 and August 2007.
