Critical aspects of spectroscopic method design and development, method risk assessment, and validation are described.
Skill assessment and validation are typically done by demonstrating that output is in agreement with empirical data.
The safety assessment and validation of such computers shall not depend on the system architecture, so common assessment criteria are needed.
