AOAC method selection — Scope & Request Planning

Select a method with an applicable matrix, organism and validation scope; method-program recognition is not automatic accreditation of a provider.

Sample considerations

  • Confirm the applicable method, adopted edition and matrix with a qualified provider; no edition currency or compliance is asserted here.
  • Specify intended use, product/matrix, hazards and transport constraints. The provider must confirm quantity, containers, controls and suitability before collection.
  • Request detection/reporting limits, uncertainty, deviations and the actual authorized or accredited scope where relevant.
