MEASURAND : Amount-of-substance fraction of Carbon monoxide in Nitrogen
NOMINAL VALUE : 5 µmol/mol

Key comparison reference value: there is no single reference value for this comparison, the value obtained from preparation, xi grav, is taken as the reference value for laboratory i.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = (xi - xi grav) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty at a 95% level of confidence, both expressed in µmol/mol,
Ui = 2[ui2 + ui ref2]1/2, using a coverage factor k = 2.

No pair-wise degrees of equivalence are computed for this key comparison.

MEASURAND : Amount-of-substance fraction of Carbon monoxide in Nitrogen
NOMINAL VALUE : 5 µmol/mol

xi : result of measurement carried out by laboratory i
ui : combined standard uncertainty of xi
xi grav : amount-of-substance fraction in the cylinder sent to laboratory i from gravimetric preparation, taken as the reference value for laboratory i
ui ref : standard uncertainty of the reference value, ui ref = (ui grav2 + ui ver2)1/2 (with ui grav is the standard uncertainty from preparation and ui ver the standard uncertainty from verification)
