2012.16. The ERP reviewed this information during their March 18, 2015 meeting and deemed that the
1
method sufficiently met AOAC SMPR 2012.009.

Data is present to assure the matrix and analyte scopes are covered. This is critical for methods

used for dispute resolution.

Both the SLV information and demonstration of reproducibility were considered the ERP determined
7
that the matrix and analyte scopes are addressed satisfactorily. The method author has developed and
8
submitted a method manuscript and this document has been reviewed by ERP members and has since
9
been accepted for publication in the Journal.

FEEDBACK FROM USERS OF METHOD:
12
A.
Document positive and negative feedback from users of the method during the trial period.
13
B.
Feedback from users demonstrating method ruggedness should be documented.
14
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
17
were some comments that came out of the ERP meetings during which the method was adopted and
18
recommended. The first comment was that the method originally used reference material, NIST SRM
19
1846. AOAC SMPR 2012.009 states NIST SRM 1849a as the reference material. During the
20
reproducibility trials, the method was challenged with NIST SRM 1849a as stipulated by the AOAC SMPR
21
2012.009 and by a set of SPIFAN matrices. Additionally, there was a comment during the March 18,
22
2015 ERP meeting regarding drying of the calcium pantothenate standard prior to use and ensuring
23
control of the moisture content. The method author did provide clarification to address this matter in
24
the method manuscript since the March meeting. No other concerns were raised. ERP members
25
reviewed the manuscript and the manuscript has since been submitted and accepted for publication in
26
the Journal.
