Method validation guidelines for use in trace analysis have been proposed by various authors, but there is little consistency in the recommended approaches. The general validation guidelines proposed by standards organizations such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), DIN (Deutsches Institut fUr Normung German Institute for Standardization) and others are often not well defined and consequently... 

Needless to say that the Deutsche Institut fur Normung (DIN, German Institute for Standardization) has determined the minimum values of break-through times of filters under standard testing conditions. These conditions are ... 

The most important tests on bonded joints are targeted at the determination of the strength under precisely defined conditions. In order to obtain comparable results from such tests on different test stations, for example, at the adhesive manufacturer and the adhesive user, the test conditions have to be stipulated in detail and must be binding. For this purpose, test standards have been issued by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) and the European Standards (EN) in cooperation with interested technical groups. The standards for tests in the held of adhesive technology, for example, contain indications regarding material and dimensions of test pieces, the test method to be applied (test equipment, test speed), if required even surface pretreatment of test pieces and other test criteria to be taken into account.

Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards founded in 1918, is responsible for maintaining both scientific and commercial metrology in the United States. Its mission is to promote American innovation and competitiveness and supplies industry, academia and government with certified standard reference materials, including documentation for procedures, quality control, and materials for calibration. The German Institute for Standards (DIN) was founded in 1917 while in the United Kingdom the BSI was formed in 1901.

The standardized DIN (Deutsches Institut fiir Normung, German Institute for Standardization) test methods, which are universally and easily applicable, are the most reliable analysis methods. They include the determination of hydrolytic resistance (by two grain-titration methods and one surface method), of acid resistance to hydrochloric acid, and of alkali resistance to a mixture of alkaline solutions. Details are described...
