Show affiliationsThe subsequent key comparison CCQM-K18.1 was started in order to evaluate the equivalence of metrology institutes as a follow-up to the previous key comparison CCQM-K18 for institutes that could not take part in the comparison at that time or did not consider their results representative of their capabilities. A carbonate buffer of a slightly different composition to that in CCQM-K18 was used.
There were seven institutes plus the coordinating laboratory participating in this subsequent comparison. Most of the participating institutes showed significant improvement; in some cases the new results confirmed the previous ones. The reasons for this have still to be elucidated.
