ISO 16140 part 3, method verification, is one of the six standards belonging to the ISO 16140 series dealing with the various aspects of method validation. The basic standard for the ISO 16140 series is part 2 on the validation of alternative (proprietary) methods. In addition to the ISO 16140 series, ISO 17468 (validation of the ISO/CEN standards) is also relevant. In this presentation the links between the different validation standards and how to efficiently and successfully conduct an in-house verification study are considered with reference to a real example. A new guidance document regarding the application of the ISO 16140-part 3 in the context of ISO 17025 accreditation is introduced.
