Method validation is known as the process used to confirm that a procedure is fit for a particular analytical purpose. This process, an essential part of analytical quality assurance, can be described as the set of tests used to establish and document performance characteristics of a method. The performance characteristics of a method are experimentally derived values for the fundamental parameters of importance in assessing the suitability of the method (Horwitz 1988, 1995 Thompson and Wood 1993, 1995 Eurachem 1996 FAO 1998 US EPA 1995 US FDA 1993a). These parameters include ...
