The poster presents the main achievements of the capacity building project ALCOREF “Forensic alcohol reference materials”. The project was part of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR).
Altogether 43 certified ethanol in water reference materials (CRMs) in the mass fraction range of 0.1 to 7 mg/g were developed by project partners. These CRMS are suitable for the calibration and verification of evidential breath alcohol analysers according to the requirements of the International Organisation of Legal Metrology (OIML). Furthermore, 10 new or improved Calibration and Measurement Capability (CMC) claims for purity assessment of ethanol and ethanol quantification were prepared. Newly established measurement capabilities and the new CRMs were successfully tested in three intercomparisons conducted as official intercomparisons of EURAMET Technical Committee for Metrology in Chemistry.
The presentation provides an overview of the EMPIR project ALCOREF “Certified forensic alcohol reference materials”. Results of an EURAMET intercomparison of ethanol in water reference materials developed in the project are presented, and two different statistical models for the key comparison reference function are discussed, the Frequentist approach and a Bayesian approach.
The presentation summarizes the results of the EURAMET key comparison QM-S13 “Comparison of value assigned forensic alcohol in water reference materials”. Possible options for the key comparison reference function (KCRF) are discussed: the frequentist approach and a Bayesian approach. Both methods are used to determine the degrees of equivalence of materials and participants.
The presentation summarizes the results of the EURAMET key comparison QM-S14 “Measurement capabilities for the quantification of ethanol in water”. Possible options for the key comparison reference value (KCRV) are discussed. A Bayesian approach is finally used to estimate the KCRV and the degrees of equivalence of participants.
