METHODOLOGY TO EVALUATE CALIBRATIONS: A STUDY CASE STUDY ON THE INTERLABORATORIAL COMPARISON PROGRAM

Joel de Jesus Lima Sousa, Luiz Torres Sá Leitão
Abstract:
This work presents a method to evaluate measurement results of calibrations of an itinerary energy standard (Wh) performed by laboratories that participate in an interlaboratorial comparison program. It is based in the methodology of linearization of the normal function distribution. This tool compares data of a laboratory under analysis to data of the reference laboratory using beta values of each laboratory within a specific period of the program. If any of these measures is outside stipulated ranges it is a sign that the laboratory under analysis needs to investigate its process.
