Abstract
As a result of the preference of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Codex Alimentarius Program to endorse methods of analysis for which interlaboratory performance parameters are available, many international organizations now conduct method-performance (collaborative) studies. International meetings sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the International Organization for Standardization, and AOAC International have produced a harmonized protocol for the design, conduct, and interpretation of method-performance studies, and this protocol Is being Implemented by many method standardization organizations. The same group of organizations hopes to provide a harmonized protocol for the quality control and quality assurance of laboratory (analyst) performance.
