An actual task is to establish specific requirements for interlaboratory comparisons (ILC) and, on their basis, to select a criterion for assessing consistency for calibration laboratories (CLs). The paper contains a detailed analysis of the results of the two ILCs for CLs. Particular attention is devoted to consistency analysis of the data obtained from the laboratories. Recommendations for improving the technical competence of CLs with their participation in the ILC are presented. To declare measurement uncertainty, a laboratory must take into account all the main components to this uncertainty.
