Sponsored by: Bruker Daltonics and Q Laboratories

Organized by: Methods Validation & Verification Interest Group within the Applied Laboratory Methods PDG

Description: The ISO 16140 series of standards comprise in total 6 different parts. These standards form a network of validation/verification procedures that offer a complete package for different validation needs.

ISO 16140 consists of the following parts, under the general title Microbiology of the food chain —
Method validation:
— Part 1: Vocabulary
— Part 2: Protocol for the validation of alternative (proprietary) methods against a reference method
The following parts are under preparation:
— Part 3: Protocol for the verification of reference and validated alternative methods implemented in a single laboratory
— Part 4: Protocol for single-laboratory (in-house) method validation
— Part 5: Protocol for factorial interlaboratory validation of non-proprietary methods
— Part 6: Protocol for the validation of alternative (proprietary) methods for microbiological confirmation and typing.

The links between the different parts are discussed as well as two of almost finalized standards on method verification and validation of confirmation methods and their impact on laboratories.
