 (Continuing) Revising our committee’s TOR

So far we have 3 versions, 1. Original/old, 2. Mike, Paul, Qian were working on the old version and made some changes and has an unfinished version, 3. Deb. worked on the old version and made some changes so it is also an unfinished version. So we will need to discuss all the changes and to add all the changes the committee selected to produce a new version.

The committee has decided to modify the form on the AOAC web into 2 separate forms for Quantitative, and Qualitative. Robert and Caryn are taking lead on the new forms (Qualitative and Quantitative). All comments are welcome.

Sidney will look up the old emails and gather files and we can resume this work.

Scott: wants to add intermediate precision on Appen J Scott:, over last 2 years, ISO has applied some methods using different labs, different times, different analysts, etc, but how to pool data together ISO called this “Intermediate Repeatability”, and reproducibility, it is very confusing. We need guidance. Scott: OMB: Paula Brown at BC Institute of Technology volunteered to help. Robert: use effect, not repeatability, and reproducibility. Paul: ISO 5725 part 4, part 6, done everything, incl. all definitions. Jane: If you have the targeted uncertainty then you have an idea on how to measure this. Jane said she can help. Scott: Robert, Paul, Jane, Paola Brown, Scott, we will hold a T-con in Dec. for about 2 hours. Sidney asked if he could join. Scott said he wants to keep the group small, but since Sidney is chair, so it is OK. Delia will send up the call.

Membership: Delia will discuss this next call.
