  • Key comparison CCQM-K12

MEASURAND : Mass fraction of creatinine in human serum
Material II - elevated range

The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the mean of the participants' results excluding IRMM: xR = 18.645 µg/g.
The expanded uncertainty of the key comparison reference value at a 95% level of confidence is: UR = 0.135 µg/g.

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 corresponding to a 95% level of confidence, both expressed in µg/g.
Di and Ui are also given here in relative terms.

The degree of equivalence between two laboratories is given by a pair of terms:
Dij = Di - Dj = (xi - xR) - (xj - xR) = (xi - xj) and Uij, its expanded uncertainty corresponding to a 95% level of confidence, both expressed in µg/g.
  • Linking EURAMET.QM-K12 to CCQM-K12

The linkage is obtained through the common participation of PTB and LGC in both key comparisons and is explained on page 14 of the EURAMET.QM-K12 Final Report.
The set of results obtained for Material II in CCQM-K12 was used to link the results obtained for both material A and B in EURAMET.QM-K12, as this was closer in nominal mass fraction. It leads to the computation of the degrees of equivalence of participants in EURAMET.QM-K12 relative to the CCQM-K12 reference value.
The Di and Ui values are given in relative terms.

No pair-wise degrees of equivalence involving participants in EURAMET.QM-K12 only have been computed.
