Abstract
In the interlaboratory study programme “ILS Coal Characterisation”, eight interlaboratory studies were organised based on the ISO standards for coal analysis. The use of blind samples in each round allows comparability of measurement results between rounds to be assessed. Based on the results, it could be demonstrated that the vast majority of the measurement results of the laboratories were traceable to results obtained in previous rounds of this programme. The hypothesis has been formulated that the combined standard uncertainty obtained from an interlaboratory study is equal to the reproducibility standard deviation. Whether the reproducibility can be used as the basis for the certification depends on whether the interlaboratory study includes all effects to be taken into account for establishing an uncertainty statement.
