Abstract:This report presents the results of a comparison of measurements on four electronic DC reference standards performed by national metrology institutes in the EUROMET region and BIPM. The results of the comparison, in terms of degrees of equivalence, show that there is a good agreement between the measurement results of the participants. The results also show that the time-dependent fluctuations in the output voltages of the travelling standards provide one of the main sources of uncertainty.Main text.

“…NMIs and ILCs providers have to provide suitable ILCs to correctly verify the capabilities of secondary laboratories. ILCs concerning the calibration of only fixed electrical standards [1][2][3][4][10][11][12] unfortunately don't cover the wide operating fields of modern secondary electrical calibration laboratories. An instrument covering wide fields and used by INRIM for several years in ILCs with these laboratories is the 8.5-digit high precision DMM.…”

“…Since decades, the measurement capabilities in the field of low frequency electrical quantities (DC and AC Voltage, DC and AC current and DC Resistance) among National Measurements Institutes (NMIs) have been verified by means of inter-laboratory comparisons (ILCs) regarding the calibration of fixed primary electrical standards as in [1][2][3][4]. These Institutes have the competence to correctly disseminate the low-frequency electrical units towards their working standards and instruments and towards secondary laboratories that operated with much higher measurement uncertainties than NMIs.…”
