BIPM.RI(I)-K3

For a comparison with laboratory , the key comparison reference value is the BIPM air kerma determination xR,i and its standard uncertainty uR,.

The degree of equivalence of each laboratory i with respect to the key comparison reference value xR,i  is given by a pair of terms: 
Di and Ui = 2ui , its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in mGy/Gy:

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

Dij = Di - Dj  and Uij = 2uij , its expanded uncertainty (k = 2), both expressed in mGy/Gy. In evaluating uij , account should be taken of correlation between uij and uj (see the BIPM.RI(I)-K3 Summary Report Metrologia 2003 40 06036). For regional comparisons involving secondary standards, this includes correlation related to traceability (see the and SIM.RI(I)-K3 Final Report and APMP.RI(I)-K3.2013 Final Report).
