Yellow background : laboratory having measured Scale A (Group 1)
Pink background: laboratory having measured Scale B (Group 2)

NPL and METAS are the linking laboratories between the two groups. The values retained for NPL and METAS are those taken at the end and at the beginning, respectively, of the circulation inside one group. Other measurements at NPL and METAS were used to assess the stability of the standards.

MEASURAND : Distance between the centre line position of the reference line and the centre line position of the measured line of the linescale

NOMINAL VALUES : 30 nominal values from 0.1 mm to 100 mm

TRANSFER STANDARDS : two linescales designated as "Scale A" and "Scale B"

For each nominal value and for each linescale, the reference value, xR, and its combined standard uncertainty, uR, are obtained from the weighted mean of the participant results with outliers excluded, as explained in Chapter 7 of the Final Report (The list of laboratories excluded from the calculation of the reference values is given in Table 11 on page 34 of the same Final Report).
The linkage between the two groups is explained in Section 8.4 of the Final Report.

For each nominal value, the degree of equivalence of laboratory i with respect to the reference value is given by a pair of terms: Di = xi - xR and Ui, its expanded uncertainty (k = 2).

Pair-wise degrees of equivalence are not computed for this key comparison.
