4. Measurement method The basis of measurement is the definition of the length unit which is lined up to the helium-
neon laser wavelength. The application of the standard laser source allows direct obtaining of data binding of the
measurement parameters to the unit standard by displacement interferometer and microinterferometer that produces linear conversions of roughness standard profile and gets its image on the fringe pattern. Advanced digital photo/video imaging system of the fringe pattern, algorithm and specific computer programs testing provides required accuracy of the image processing and determination of roughness parameters.

The results of measurements of the comparison participants were verified as per the level of equivalence of the standards.
As only two countries (laboratories) take part in the comparison, the level of equivalence can be expressed quantitively by two following quantities (dj , U(dj)), i.e.
- by deviation from the reference value (RV) of measurement value of each institute dj - by expanded uncertainty U(dj) of this difference at the level of credibility of 95%
