Interlaboratory studies for method evaluation
| Ideally an analysis certificate of a commodity, issued by a laboratory
should be similar to that issued by other laboratories that have analysed the same
commodity. That nonetheless minor differences may exist between the certificates is caused
by the measuring uncertainties of the analytical methods. |
|
The measuring uncertainty of an
analysis method is determined during its validation process. Many laboratories usually
cooperate in the validation of a method. Once a method has been validated it can be
expected that any laboratory applying the method will find results within the measuring
uncertainty.
