Accurate, precise and sensitive analytical methods are important to the collection of data needed for regulatory decisions about pesticide registration. This article describes the various components of analytical method development, validation and implementation that affect the collection of pesticide residue distribution data for regulatory assessment of environmental fate and water quality impacts. Included in this discussion are both the technical needs of analytical methods and the attributes of study design and sample collection needed to develop data that are useful for regulatory purposes. 

Analytical methods are not ordinarily associated with the Neyman-Pearson theory of hypothesis testing. Yet, statistical hypothesis tests are an indispensable part of method development, validation, and use Such testa are used to construct analytical curves, to decide the "minimum significant measured" quantity, and the "minimum detectable true" quantity (33.34) of a method, and in handling the "outlier value problem"(35.36).

New guidance on traceability presents a simplifying concept of traceability which is appropriate for practical situations. This new paradigm clarifies the relative roles of method development, validation, trace-ability through calibration, and uncertainty estimation and provides a coherent picture of these activities in the context of wider QA management. The principles are... 

Biotech macromolecule drugs are chemically and biologically different from the small-molecule drugs. Special considerations must be given for bioanalytical method development, validation and applications, including the purity of the re-... 

The company must have sufficient employees with suitable education, training, and experience to perform method development, validation, and performance. Also, the laboratory staff will require such supporting staff as administrative, supervisory, maintenance, safety, and shipping and receiving. The company should therefore have an organizational chart that clearly defines the role and responsibilities of each employee. Additionally, each employee must have a well-defined job description and a curriculum Vitae, that delineates the employee s work history and educational experience.

Some degradation products are either very polar or very nonpolar in nature this may present an issue in chromatography, where they may not be retained or strongly adsorbed on the column, respectively. One may also want to double check the reference standard for its purity, moisture content, and/or salt/ acid-base ratio for calculation. An analytical chemist must remember to explore all possibilities if mass balance issue is observed (either during method development, validation and/or stability testing). 

Regardless of the numerous sources providing general direction to the method developer, validation is an extremely complex regulatory issue that is not easily defined. Historically, a NIR spectroscopist considered validation to be the process of verifying the correlation between NIR results and the... 

The IRMM has launched the production of a basic peanut reference material using the most commonly used peanut varieties for food production. This material may be used for spiking food matrices for further method development, validation and proficiency testing, for clinical tests and in vitro assays. This future peanut reference standard will take into account specific demands from the food industry and respect various technological conditions as mentioned. 

Any discussion of the method development/validation process should consider obtaining a sufficient quantity of a qualified reference standard and appropriate samples to support the development and validation campaign. In most cases, the limit of the accuracy of the analytical test will be related to the correctness of the standard s assay. There is little consensus on the common requirements of reference standards as outlined by the regulatory authority typical practice favors an approach of thorough analytical characterization of the standard supported by adequate documentation. 

This chapter reviewed a systematic approach to method development, validation of analytical methods, and successful transfer of the methods. Successful completion of each component is both a regulatory requirement and good laboratory practice. To ensure that the data are both accurate and reliable, qualified and trained laboratory analysts must perform methods on qualified equipment, using suitable standards.
