Difference between photometric responsivity values measured by NIST and PTB: −0.22 %±0.14 %(U)
a

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

b

Ulab is two times the standard deviation of the responsivity values at each laboratory. U is the quadrature sum of Ulab(NIST) and Ulab(PTB).
