TAKING RIGHT FINAL CONCLUSIONS AND DECISIONS WITH THE USE OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE KEY COMPARISON REFERENCE VALUE (KCRV)

José Carlos Valente de Oliveira
Abstract:
The best way that a National Metrology Institute (NMI) has to demonstrate confidence in its measurement results and, consequently, in its measurement capabilities is the the participation in key comparisons. Usually, it is not so obvious to choose the key comparison reference value (KCRV). The main purpose of this paper is to present the considerations done about the measurement results contained in some final reports of some different key comparisons, chosen as case studies, aiming to establish the KCRV.
Keywords:
key comparison reference value (KCRV), measurement capability, degrees of equivalence, statistical consistence
