AOAC OMB Orientation 9-2016

AOAC INTERNATIONAL and Power of Many

As a scientific association, AOAC brings scientists together to do a  job together that they should not do alone. • AOAC leverages its global networks and the value of its independent third  party status to provide opportunities for scientific stakeholder groups to  talk  about methods driven by the need for reliable, scientifically valid, fit for  purpose methodology.  

• Reliable, scientifically valid, fit for purpose methodology are attained by  beginning with the development of voluntary consensus standards.  

• Methods deemed that meet the voluntary consensus standard are  considered  fit for purpose and are adopted and published in the Official  Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL.
