For the validation and monitoring of methods' performance, to ensure the trueness of measurements and to warrant the traceability to international standards, reference materials (RMs) and certified reference materials should be used.
Food lawyers, professionals and auditors working in the area of official inspections, quality assurance, food traceability, and international regulation, both in academia and industry, will find this Brief an important account.
Over the last 10 years, a new generation of in situ field radiometers has been developed that are required to validate satellite SST measurements with traceability to Systeme International primary standards.
For these assays (with variable quantification), assay traceability to the international standard alone will not adequately correct for these types of differences.
In addition, the International Federation for Clinical Chemistry IFCCC) developed a reference method using mass spectrometry (or capillary electrophoresis) for A1C measurement, which should result in international harmonization as it facilitates traceability to a metrologically sound accuracy base.
In the matter of the inspection of the pitch deviations of this gear pair, there is no practical possibility for a reliable metrological traceability to national or international measurement standards can be provided.
Absent anonymization, in all types of biobanking, traceability is possible and international research and exchange is foreseen in the consent process.
Moreover, using primary reference materials, qNMR is a highly accurate method with low measurement uncertainty, also providing traceability to SI units (Système International d'Unités) and thus offering the possibility of certifying reference materials for H or other nuclei, as for example P.
All international supply chains are forced to comply with traceability requirements.
The CAP/CTM CMV test (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc [RMS], Branchburg, New Jersey) analytical performance characteristics, including traceability to the first WHO CMV international standard for nucleic acid amplification techniques (NIBSC 09/162) were described previously [ 13].
