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.
