Rationale - recap

X All candidate methods for nutrients and analytes in AOAC-SPIFAN are subjected to a common SLV protocol (Appendix L). The SLV guidelines were drafted in 2011 by the SPIFAN ERP X It was noted SPIFAN may need to address expectations/criteria for Study Directors of methods for new/novel ingredients/analytes, since the SLV protocol is considered no longer fit for purpose X Revised guidelines were presented to SPIFAN stakeholders in March 2021 and evaluated by the SPIFAN Nutrients ERP in June 2021 X In August 2021 the revised guidelines were posted for public comments
