Show affiliationsSince 1989, two national metrology institutes have submitted three samples of known activity of 166Hom to the International Reference System (SIR) for activity comparison at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures. The activities were between about 100 kBq and 500 kBq. The degrees of equivalence between each equivalent activity measured in the SIR and the key comparison reference value (KCRV) have been calculated and the results are given in the form of a matrix for these two NMIs. A graphical presentation is also given.
The results of an APMP regional comparison, comparison identifier APMP.RI(II)-K2.Ho-166m, completed in 2000 for this radionuclide have been linked to the SIR results through that of the NMIJ. This has enabled five other NMIs to have degrees of equivalence in the KCDB.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by Section II of the Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation (CCRI(II)), comparison identifier BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Ho-166m, according to the provisions of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA).
