摘要
The International Measurement Evaluation Programme (IMEP) is an interlaboratory comparison scheme founded, owned and co-ordinated by the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) since 1988. IMEP-14, for the first time in the series, is focusing on trace elements in sediment. Reference values for ten elements stating total concentrations and expanded uncertainties according to GUM were established. In total, 239 laboratories from 43 countries in five continents participated in the comparison, and the degree of equivalence between the results from the laboratories and the reference values is presented graphically. Identical samples were distributed to nine National Measurement Institutes within the frame of the CCQM-P15 pilot study. Participation in the IMEP-14 interlaboratory comparison was offered to laboratories in the EU new member states and acceding countries according to the IRMM's "Metrology in Chemistry support programme for EU new member states and acceding countries".
