MEASURAND         L-PFOA in ground water

NOMINAL VALUE      5 ng/kg

 

The key comparison reference value xR and its associated standard uncertainty uR are computed using a hierarchical Bayesian random effects model of the reported results.

        xR = 4.9 ng/kg     uR = 0.4 ng/kg

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in ng/kg, where

Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Uik ui , k representing the coverage factor to obtain 95 % level of confidence.

The degree of equivalence is also given in relative terms by Di = (xI - xR) /xand its relative expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in %.
