Analytical methods (2)
10.3 Validation of the analytical method should include as appropriate:
- precision, linearity and selectivity (the latter if specific analytes are targeted);
- limit of detection (LOD);
- limit of quantitation (LOQ);
- recovery, by spiking with the analyte; and
- reproducibility.
10.4 The detection limit for each analytical method should be sufficiently sensitive to detect the established acceptable level of the residue or contaminants.
