Abstract

Since 1976, 30 laboratories have submitted 85 samples of 60Co to the International Reference System (SIR) for activity comparison at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), with comparison identi_er BIPM.RI(II)-K1.Co-60. Recently, the PTB (Germany), the NIST (United States), the SMU (Slovakia), the BARC (India), the LNE-LNHB (France), the POLATOM (Poland), the ENEA-INMRI (Italy), the NPL (United Kingdom), the LNMRI-IRD (Brazil), the NMISA (South Africa) and the ANSTO (Australia) participated in the comparison and the key comparison reference value (KCRV) has been updated. The degrees of equivalence between each equivalent activity measured in the SIR and the updated KCRV have been calculated and the results are given in the form of a table. A graphical representation is also given.
