Laboratory accreditation and test method selection

要点

Accreditation confirms that a laboratory is technically competent for specific methods within a defined scope, and a result is only as strong as the method used, the laboratory's scope and the representativeness of the sample.

よくある質問

Are rapid methods acceptable?

For screening and process decisions, yes when properly calibrated. Contractual and dispute results normally require the reference method named in the specification.

Why do two laboratories disagree?

Usually sampling differences or method differences, and normal reproducibility variation. This is why the sampling protocol and named methods belong in the contract.

主要ポイント

  • Accreditation applies to named methods, not to the laboratory generally.
  • Contract results should come from an accredited scope where possible.
  • Method choice must match the decision the result will support.

Scope matters

A laboratory accredited for proximate analysis is not thereby accredited for mycotoxins or heavy metals. Check that the specific method for the specific matrix appears in the accreditation schedule before relying on a result contractually.

Reproducibility between laboratories

Two competent laboratories using the same method produce results within a defined reproducibility range. Contract tolerances should account for that range, otherwise routine analytical variation generates avoidable disputes.

確認事項

  • Method and matrix listed within the laboratory's accreditation scope
  • Contract naming the analytical method for each parameter
  • Tolerances accounting for method reproducibility

管理すべきリスク

  • Disputes generated by method differences rather than product differences
  • Screening results treated as contractual results
  • Results reported outside the laboratory's accredited scope

よくある誤り

  • Assuming accreditation covers everything the laboratory offers
  • Comparing results produced by different methods
  • Setting tolerances tighter than method reproducibility
