Report on key comparison AFRIMETS.AUV.V-K5 and linking to CCAUV.V-K5

Following the completion of the fifth CIPM key comparison (KC) in the area of vibration concerning sinusoidal acceleration, participating Regional Metrology Organizations (RMOs) have the responsibility to disseminate the Key Comparison Reference Values (KCRV) to non-participating National Metrology Institutes (NMIs), thereby establishing a traceable link between NMIs participating in regional comparisons and the KCRVs. The comparison results reported here have that objective. The comparison was piloted by AFRIMETS with participants from three NMIs, situated in two RMOs, namely SIM and APMP. The respective Degrees of Equivalence, linked to the KCRVs, are reported. The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCAUV, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
