In this case, the repeatability standard deviation σr and the reproducibility standard deviation σR have been established and the laboratory can demonstrate compliance with the performance characteristics of the validated method.

If the final result x of measurement is calculated using a formula of the form x = y 1 + y 2, x = y 1 – y 2, x = y 1 · y 2 or x = y 1/y 2 the usual procedures for combining standard deviations in such cases shall be followed.

The consignment is judged to be not in compliance with the upper legal limit UL if

otherwise it is judged to be in compliance with LL.

  1. In-house validation with calculation of internal reproducibility standard deviation

In cases where methods not specified in this Regulation are used and precision measures have not been established, an in-house validation shall be carried out. Internal repeatability standard deviation σir and the internal reproducibility standard deviation σi R shall be used instead of σr and σR, resp., in the formulae for the computation of the expanded uncertainty U.

The rules to be followed to determine compliance with the legal limit are as set out under point 1. However, if the consignment is judged to be non-compliant with the legal limit, the measurements shall be repeated with the method specified in this Regulation and the result evaluated in accordance to point 1.

The method to be applied shall be approved by the paying agency.

6

Scorched particles' analyses may be conducted systematically. However, such analyses shall always be conducted if no sensory checks are performed.

7

The method to be applied shall be approved by the paying agency (one or both methods).

8

The method to be applied shall be approved by the paying agency.

9

Sensory checks shall be performed where deemed necessary after risk based analysis approved by the paying agency.

Sample application: After pre-focusing (step 1), pipette 18 μl of the sample and standard solutions onto the sample applicators (10 × 5 mm), place them on the gel at 1 mm intervals from each other and 5 mm longitudinally from the anode and press lightly. Carry out focusing using the above conditions, carefully removing the sample applicators after the 60 minutes of sample focusing.
