A.
Document method performance versus SMPR criteria. Note which SMPR criteria are met. For SMPR
1
criteria not met, the ERP documents the reasoning why the method is still acceptable.

The draft SMPR
13was presented and approved in 2012 by AOAC SPIFAN. The ERP found that the
4
method did meet the SMPR method performance criteria satisfactorily in their collective judgment. The
5
ERP were satisfied that the method authors could address providing additional detail and deciding on
6
one digestion technique in the multi-laboratory testing for AOAC 2012.15. The ERP reviewed this
7
information during their March 18, 2015 meeting and deemed that the method sufficiently met AOAC
8
SMPR 2012.008.

B.
Data is present to assure the matrix and analyte scopes are covered. This is critical for methods
11
used for dispute resolution.

13
Both the SLV information and demonstration of reproducibility were considered the ERP determined
14
that the matrix and analyte scopes are addressed satisfactorily. The method author has developed and
15
submitted a method manuscript clarifying additional information mentioned during the ERP meeting in
16
March 2015. This document has been reviewed by ERP members and is in the publication process in the
17
Journal.

FEEDBACK FROM USERS OF METHOD:
20
A.
Document positive and negative feedback from users of the method during the trial period.
21
B.
Feedback from users demonstrating method ruggedness should be documented.
22
C.
Assess the future availability of vital equipment, reference materials, and supplies.

There were no comments submitted regarding this method during the two year period. However, there
25
were some comments that came out of the ERP meetings during which the method was adopted and
26
recommended. Additionally, there were comments from collaborators and during the March 18, 2015
27
ERP meeting. Comments included:

•
Clarifying in the method that it is not applicable to samples containing FD&C Red Dye #3
