PD CEN/TS 16800:2015 CEN/TS 16800:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Environmental monitoring of chemical substances is increasingly carried out wit

21、hin a European framework, and there is concern about the comparability of data at the European level. In particular methods used for the monitoring of substances with recent interest have often not been properly validated either in-house (i.e. within a single laboratory) or at the international leve

22、l. These issues may be addressed by adopting a harmonized approach towards method development and validation. The main objective of this document is to provide a common European approach to the validation of chemical methods for the respective monitoring of chemical substances in a broad range of ma

23、trices. Although the development of this approach was triggered by the needs for monitoring of emerging pollutants, it is of general nature and can be applied to the measurement of a wide range of substances in a variety of matrices. This guidance takes into account the different requirements for th

24、e level of method maturity and validation at different stages of the investigation or regulation of chemical substances. In the case of a specific monitoring task, this protocol will guide the user through the following steps: classification of existing methods with respect to their status of valida

25、tion, and the selection of the appropriate validation approach; development of a method so as to extend its application; for example, if a method for determining a required target compound in a particular matrix is available, but is not suitable for the same compound in a different matrix of interes

26、t; the validation procedures to be carried out in order to effectively demonstrate the validation status of a selected method according to the two approaches adopted. Many (national and international) standards currently contain in their scope a statement like “this method is applicable from a conce

27、ntration level of xx g/l or yy mg/kg dry matter”, without any statement how this concentration level was established. When the limit of quantification (LOQ) is evaluated using the procedure of this Technical Specification, there is a possibility that it does not meet the lower limit of the claimed r

28、ange. PD CEN/TS 16800:2015 CEN/TS 16800:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification describes an approach for the validation of physico-chemical analytical methods for environmental matrices. The guidance in this document addresses two different validation approaches, in increasing order of comp

29、lexity. These are: a) method development and validation at the level of single laboratories (intra-laboratory validation);b) method validation at the level of several laboratories (between-laboratory or inter-laboratoryvalidation), with a focus on methods that are sufficiently mature and robust to b

30、e applied not onlyby a few expert laboratories but by laboratories operating at the routine level.The concept of these two approaches is strictly hierarchical, i.e. a method shall fulfil all criteria of the first level before it can enter the validation protocol of the second level. This Technical S

31、pecification is applicable to the validation of a broad range of quantitative physico-chemical analytical methods for the analysis of water (including surface water, groundwater, waste water, and sediment). Analytical methods for other environmental matrices, like soil, sludge, waste, and biota can

32、be validated in the same way. It is intended either for analytical methods aiming at substances that have recently become of interest or for test methods applying recently developed technologies. The minimal requirements that are indispensable for the characterization of the fitness for purpose of a

33、n analytical method are: selectivity, precision, bias and measurement uncertainty. The aim of validation is to prove that these requirements are met. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its applica

39、seness of agreement between a test result and the accepted reference value SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, definition 3.3.1 Note 1 to entry: The term accuracy, when applied to a set of test results, involves a combination of random components (usually expressed by a precision measure) and a common systemat

40、ic error or bias component (usually expressed by a measure for trueness). Note 2 to entry: The technical term “accuracy“ should not be confused with the term trueness (see definition of “trueness“). 3.3 analyte substance to be analysed (chemical species or physical parameter) Note 1 to entry: The qu

41、antity of an analyte is the measurand (3.15). 3.4 bias difference between the expectation of a test result or measurement result and a true value Note 1 to entry: Bias is the total systematic error as contrasted to random error. There may be one or more systematic error components contributing to th

42、e bias. A larger systematic difference from the accepted reference value is reflected by a larger bias value. Note 2 to entry: The bias of a measuring instrument is normally estimated by averaging the error of indication over an appropriate number of repeated measurements. The error of indication is

43、 the: “indication of a measuring instrument minus a true value of the corresponding input quantity“. Note 3 to entry: In practice, accepted reference value is substituted for the true value. SOURCE: ISO 3534-2:2006, definition 3.3.2 3.5 blank sample or test scheme without the analyte known to produc

44、e the measured signal Note 1 to entry: Use of various types of blanks enable assessment of which proportion of the measured signal is attributable to the measurand and which proportion to other causes. Various types of blank are available (see definition of reagent blank and blank sample). PD CEN/TS

46、 and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication Note 1 to entry: A calibration may be expressed by a statement, calibration function, calibration diagram, calibration curve, or calibration table. In some cases, it may consis

47、t of an additive or multiplicative correction of the indication with associated measurement uncertainty. Note 2 to entry: Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system, often mistakenly called “self-calibration”, nor with verification of calibration. SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide
