Abstract
In anticipation of the start of a European comparison of 10 V Josephson array voltage standards (EUROMET project 429 led by NMi VSL), the BIPM and the BNM-LCIE Josephson standards have been compared by means of Zener travelling references. An overall spread of 5 parts in 10/sup 9/ has been found with a standard uncertainty of 6 parts in 10/sup 9/. These results show that the performance of the Zener references could be the main cause of uncertainty in such a comparison.
