Difference of luminous intensity values measured by NIST and by PTB: + 0.18 % ± 0.24 %(U)
a

Δ is the difference of the two measurements of each lamp at each laboratory, [I(first)-I(second)]/I(first).

b

Ulab is two times the standard deviation of luminous intensity values of each laboratory normalized by the average of each lamp. U is the quadrature sum of Ulab(NIST) and Ulab(PTB).
