BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Fe-59 and APMP.RI(II)-K2.Fe-59

 

MEASURAND   SIR equivalent activity of 59Fe

 

Key comparison reference value:


The SIR reference value for this radionuclide is xR = 14 639 kBq with a standard uncertainty uR = 27 kBq, see section 4.1 of the Final Report.

 

 

BIPM.RI(I)-K1.Fe-59

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms:

Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq, where xi represents the equivalent activity for laboratoryt i and

Ui = 2( (1 - 2w)ui2 + uR)1/2 when each laboratory has contributed to the calculation of xR.

 

When required, the degree of equivalence between two laboratories i and j can be evaluated by a pair of terms both expressed in MBq:

Dij = Di - Dj , and Uij ,i ts expanded uncertainty (k = 2). To determine Uij the correlation factors must be considered.

 

 

Linking APMP.RI(II)-K2.Fe-59 to BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Fe-59

The value xi is the equivalent activity for laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Fe-59 having been normalized using the value of the linking laboratory, NMIJ (see Final report).

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i participant in APMP.RI(II)-K2.Fe-59 with respect to the key comparison reference value is given by a pair of terms:

Di = (xi - xR) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in MBq. Ui  is evaluated via the approximation Ui = 2(ui2 + uR)1/2 .

These statements make it possible to extend the BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Fe-59 degrees of equivalence to the other participants in the APMP.RI(II)-K2.Fe-59.
