CCQM-K6 and CCQM-K6.2
MEASURAND : Mass fraction of cholesterol in human serum
2.2 mg/g to 2.3 mg/g (Matrial "A")
|
The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the mean of the participant results excluding NARL and NMi-VSL; xR = 2.200 mg/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% confidence interval, both expressed in mg/g. |
Linking of CCQM-K6.2 to CCQM-K6
The linking was made via NIST, participating in both comparisons. Regarding the long time laps between the CCQM-K6 and CCQM-K6.2, a consensus value was applied as the key comparison reference value.

The key comparison reference value, xR, is calculated as the mean of the participant results excluding NARL; xR = 1.726 mg/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% confidence interval, both expressed in mg/g. |
| 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% confidence interval, both expressed in mg/g. |
