PAGE TEN – METHOD INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIRED METHOD INFORMATION

4.8 Method Instructions and Required Method Information Following the validation studies, the method developer should finalize the method instructions, taking into account any information learned from the validation. If detailed method preparation techniques are perceived to be proprietary information, requests may be made to the reviewers (Expert Review Panel or other volunteer experts) to keep this information confidential. Within the method instructions, the method developer must provide: • A statement of the expected context(s) of use, expected matrices and expected analytical goals of the method. • Specific qualifications or training required to perform the method, as well as links or references to this training. …

Delete "as well as links or references to this training". This is certainly the responsibility of the laboratory and not the method provider.
