Guidelines for Air Sampling and Analytical Method Development and Evaluation (May 1995)

摘要

The purpose of this guideline document is to further refine the original protocol for application to sampling and analytical method development and evaluation research with additional experiments added to more fully evaluate method performance. An experimental design for the evaluation of sampling and analytical methods has been suggested. If these experiments are not applicable for the method under study, then a revised experimental design should be prepared which is appropriate to fully evaluate the method. The assistance of a statistician may be required for the preparation of this design. The objectives of this guideline document include: (1) providing guidance and procedures to estimate the precision, bias, and accuracy of a sampling and analysis method; and (2) providing guidance and procedures to evaluate a method relative to the 25% accuracy criterion.
