Selection of Independent Testing: The Method Developer may ask the Project Manager to request proposals from more than one independent testing site. Factors in the selection of an independent testing site can include cost, timing, technical expertise, and ease of shipping method components and equipment.
5.3.1 Independent Evaluation
The testing site must not have a financial, corporate, or regulatory relationship with the applicant and must not be a competitor. Preference will be given to qualified testing sites accredited to the ISO 17025 requirements for the appropriate field(s) of testing. If evidence of appropriate accreditation is not provided, on‐site visits by a representative of the AOAC‐ RI, at the Technology Provider’s expense will be conducted to assess the testing site's compliance with the General Criteria for Independent Laboratories (Appendix 8). [to be added later] A method may be evaluated in situ at the “primary’ laboratory with the following additional requirements: Test samples must be prepared and blind‐coded by an independent laboratory meeting the requirements specified in 5.3.1. An analyst from the independent laboratory must analyze the blind‐ coded test samples. An AOAC RI Project Manager must be present during the analysis. Results must be reported back to the independent laboratory. The independent laboratory will decode and analyze the results and prepare a report. If an On‐Site Method is commercialized, i.e., turned into and sold as a test kit, the PTM mark does not apply to the test kit. The test kit must be evaluated at an independent laboratory meeting the requirements of section 5.3.1.1.
