The results of the third CIPM comparison in the area of vibration, here concerning sinusoidal acceleration, are presented. This comparison was intended to build the foundation for subsequent regional key comparisons over an extended frequency range. However, one of the transducers showed a poor stability. This feature, and other shortcomings that became apparent during the analysis, limit the impact of the comparison results. Therefore, a key comparison reference value has been defined for a limited domain and application, and the respective Degrees of Equivalence are reported.Main text.

The first key comparison (KC) in the Regional Metrology Organization (RMO) EUROMET in the area of 'vibration' (EUROMET.AUV.V-K1, Project Ref.-No. 579) was carried out from July 2003 to March 2005, piloted by the PTB. The objective was to link 11 European countries, which had not participated in the CIPM KC, to the key comparison reference values (KCRVs) established in the CIPM KC CCAUV.V-K1. The linking of the RMO KC to the CIPM KC was based on the 'weighted mean method' using the results of three laboratories that had participated in both KCs. To measure the charge sensitivity of two transfer standards (accelerometers) at six specified frequencies in the range from 40 Hz to 5 kHz, ten laboratories used laser interferometry (ISO 16063-11) and four laboratories used comparison with a reference transducer (ISO 16063-21) traceable to PTB (EUROMET project ref. No. 198 providing traceability). The degrees of equivalence were computed for all calibration results of the RMO laboratories regarding (i) the KCRV, (ii) the other RMO laboratories' results, and (iii) the results of the 12 laboratories which had participated in the CIPM KC. In all cases the deviation Di relative to the KCRV is smaller than the relative expanded uncertainty Ui (k = 2) of this difference, Di < Ui. The deviations Dij between the laboratories are in nearly 99% of all cases smaller than the relative expanded uncertainty Uij (k = 2) of these differences. None of the calibration results (40 Hz to 5 kHz) exceeds a relative deviation of 1% from the KCRV, and only a few results deviate by more than 0.5% from the KCRV.Main text.
