The degree of equivalence within the participating national metrology institutes for the measurement results of the mass fractions of the analytes Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in an aluminium alloy was assessed. This interlaboratory comité consultatif pour la quantité de matière key comparison (CCQM-K42) was organised as an activity of the Inorganic Analytical Working Group of CCQM. In total seven laboratories participated, six of them for all analytes. Measurands were the mass fractions of the analytes in a range of 0.05 and 0.2%. As an outcome the consistency of the results for all elements investigated was acceptable, hence satisfactory comparability was established. An aluminium based certified reference material—undisclosed to the analysts which one it was—was used as test sample. For the purpose of this study homogeneity was tested at BAM. Each laboratory was free to choose any analytical method they wanted to use for the analysis. Consequently various methods of measurement were employed: instrumental neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) using fused cast-bead method combined with reconstitution technique, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Metrological traceability of the measurement results to the SI unit had to be demonstrated. Therefore, methods such as spark OES or XRF (without fused cast-bead technique)—both of them being most important methods for the analysis of metals and alloys in industrial laboratories—could not be used in the frame of the key comparison.
An der BAM wurde Anfang 1996 die GUM-konforme Ermittlung und Angabe der Unsicherheit quantitativer Prüfergebnisse eingeführt. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die wesentlichen Schritte und die bisherigen Erfahrungen wird die Ermittlung der Unsicherheit an Beispielen aus zwei Schwerpunktsbereichen der Prüftätigkeit der BAM vorgestellt: atomspektrometrische Analyse anorganischer Materialien und mechanisch-technologische Werkstoffprüfung. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick auf die Ermittlung der Unsicherheit qualitativer Prüfergebnisse gegeben. Diese Arbeit ist ein ergänzender Beitrag zur Thematik des tm-Sonderheftes über GUM-konforme Auswertung von Messungen, das im Januar 2001 erschienen ist.
At BAM, GUM-compliant evaluation and expression of uncertainty for quantitative test results was introduced in early 1996. After a brief overview of essential steps and experience so far, uncertainty evaluation is presented for examples from two main fields of BAM´s testing activities: analysis of inorganic materials by atomic spectrometry and mechanical materials testing using tensile/compression testing machines. Finally, an outlook is given on the evaluation of uncertainty for qualitative test results. This paper is a supplementary contribution to the topic of the tm special edition on GUM-compliant evaluation of measurements published January 2001.
