Sumario:In order to evaluate the worldwide consistency of practical implementations of the 1979 redefinition of the candela, the Consultative Committee for Photometry and Radiometry (CCPR) has conducted an international intercomparison of photometric base units. The intercomparison showed 0.8% agreement (one standard deviation) of independent luminous-intensity scale realizations by 15 national laboratories, and 0.6% agreement of luminous-flux scale realizations by 11 laboratories. The NBS candela and lumen agreed with the world mean within quoted uncertainty limits, and were shown to be consistent with one another within 0.5%.
