Considerations

• AOAC Policy – requirements for method use and reproducibility • SPIFAN Community method needs – Codex Type II, versus QC methods • Method End User Community - Methods in Use and Feedback • Previous ERP Comments • Methods meeting requirements of SMPRs and Codex standards • Importance of international acceptability (ISO, IDF, Codex, etc….)
