© NMISA 2010 Introduction The NMISA conducted a national comparison on 10 mΩ, 1 Ω, 10 kΩ, 1 MΩ and 1 GΩ resistance measurements on behalf of SANAS. The comparison measurements started in May 2009 and were completed in March This report presents the method used for calculation of reference values and associated measurement uncertainties, behaviour of comparison standards during the measurement period and results reported by participants.

© NMISA 2010 Comparison reference values Each comparison reference value was assigned by calculating the weighted mean of the NMISA measurement results using the following equation:
© NMISA 2010 Comparison reference values Where: is a number allocated to successive NMISA measurement results is the successive NMISA measurement result is the uncertainty of successive NMISA measurement results and is the calculated comparison reference value.
© NMISA 2010 Reference values uncertainty Each reference value uncertainty was calculated using the following equation
© NMISA 2010 Reference values uncertainty Where: is the estimated drift of each comparison standard during the measurement period is a number allocated to successive NMISA measurement results is the uncertainty of successive NMISA measurement results and is the expanded uncertainty of the reference value

© NMISA 2010 Behaviour of comparison standards Despite of the deviations, most probably due to shock in transit, the behaviour of each standard is approximated by a linear fit through all respective NMISA measurements using the formula:
© NMISA 2010 Behaviour of comparison standards Where: is a specific NMISA measurement date is the average of the NMISA measurement dates is the estimated resistance value is the average of the NMISA measurements is the estimated drift per day
