WEBINAR 7 – GUIDELINES FOR METHOD SELECTION AND VALIDATION/VERIFICATION

This webinar will review the requirements and techniques laboratories and data users can use to effectively conform to the standards and regulations concerning method selection and validation/verification. Participants will learn the theory and practice related to selecting and validating test methods to generate data of known and documented quality. The requirements in the standards and regulations can be vague and confusing to laboratory management and staff. Various options for compliance will be provided to assist in providing legally defensible data in a way that works for the participants’ lab and their customers.

Outline:

• Principles of method selection and validation/verification
• Validation/verification of reference methods, validation of non-standard methods, and validation of lab-modified methods
• Relevance of validation/verification to the measurement process
• Requirements for legally defensible data
