NOMINAL RANGE   2 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg

 

For each sample preparation, the value of the AfB1 mass fraction, xRi,  assigned by the BIPM according to the calibration procedure described in the CCQM-K154.b Final report, and its associated combined uncertainty, uRi,  is taken as the key comparison reference value for laboratory i.

For each sample, the degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms both expressed in mg/kg:

Di = (xi - xRi ) and Ui, its expanded uncertainty at a 95% level of confidence, Ui = 2(ui 2 + uRi 2)1/2
