The goal was to assess how well laboratories can realize the VPDB scale using these RMs. In total, carbon isotope delta values of 36 RMs were measured by seven laboratories as well as the vanillin sample previously evaluated in CCQM-K167/P211. A hierarchical Bayesian measurement model was used to evaluate the coherence between these RMs, and to determine the carbon isotope delta value of each of these RMs. In general, this study shows that the 36 carbon isotope delta RMs are reliable. Further, the value assigned to the vanillin sample in this study is within 0.02 ‰ from the CCQM-K167 KCRV.To reach the main text of this paper, click on <ext-link xlink:href=\"https://www.bipm.org/documents/d/guest/ccqm-p212\" xlink:type=\"simple\">Final Report</ext-link>.

The planned launch date of the BIPM.QM-K2a and b comparisons is 2024 and will enable NMIs and DIs to have access to on-demand comparisons for their CO2 in air and nitrogen standards over the range 350 μmol mol⁻¹ to 800 μmol mol⁻¹.The pilot studies supplemented the validation activities on the BIPM reference facility already reported in CCQM-P188, and ongoing validation studies against NIST, NOAA and VSL gas standards. A description of the BIPM facility performance will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in 2023, with a full uncertainty analysis showing that it can operate with a standard uncertainty of 0.1 μmol mol⁻¹ over the amount fraction range of the comparison (Viallon et al 2023b).The comparison was organised using a sufficient number of independent standards, to demonstrate the performance of the BIPM system, whilst limiting the duration of the pilot study, allowing the key comparison to start as planned in 2024. Following discussions at the 44th GAWG meeting it was decided that comparisons with 3 independent standards at 3 nominal amount fraction values (380, 480 and 800 μmol mol⁻¹) in the two matrices (air and nitrogen) would be sufficient.Results presented in this report show a good agreement between values assigned by participants and those measured at the BIPM, over the entire range of the comparison and for both matrices (air and nitrogen). The BIPM pVT−CO2 facility is ready to act as reference facility for the ongoing key comparison BIPM.QM−K2.To reach the main text of this paper, click on <ext-link xlink:href=\"https://www.bipm.org/documents/d/guest/ccqm-p225\" xlink:type=\"simple\">Final Report</ext-link>.

A double difference such as TWSTFT—GPSCP provides information on the changes in the relative time delays of the two systems. These changes are referred to as aging or time dispersion. A first difference statistic, RMS time interval error, TIE RMS , provides the RMS time dispersion. The time deviation statistic (TDEV) or a variation on the Allan deviation (ADEV), referred to here as ADEVS, provide information on the nature of the random fluctuations in aging. This paper describes analytical and Monte Carlo techniques used to estimate the aging (time dispersion) from TDEV or ADEVS statistics, and finds that the aging can be more than a factor of four larger than TDEV or ADEVS.
