D. Reference Standards
NIST standard reference, Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2977 should be mentioned in the method.
The study, as reported in Mastovska et al.: Journal of AOAC International Vol. 98, No. 2, 2015 used
Reference Material 1974b, which is a mussel matrix with
certified concentrations of incurred PAHs and other organic
contaminants
NIST SRM 1974b was used for method qualification, but no data was presented.
Labeled PAHs:

http://shop.isotope.com/category.aspx?id=10032698There were certificates of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2977 and Standard Reference Material (SRM)1974,
but no data were found from those reference materials to further demonstrate the method performance.
What type of single laboratory validations were used for this method [i.e, Harmonized PTM, Precollaborative,
Independent, Collaborative, etc.] and where is it referenced in the method documentation?
Collaborative, Performance characteristics on page 72 of the ERP book
A Collaborative Study was done. This is stated in the title of the document as well as in the abstract, and in the
document starting on page 479 of the publication
Collaborative
A full collaborative study was conducted and reported in Mastovska et al.: Journal of AOAC International Vol. 98,
No. 2, 2015
Collaborative study was conducted, with 10 labs successfully completing the validation process.
Precollaborative Independent,
