Performance criteria according to CD 2002/657/EC
2.2 Screening methods
False compliant rate
< 5 % (β-error)
In case of a suspected
non-compliant result,
a confirmation is
obligatory.
5
Suitable confirmatory methods according to
Table 1
CD 2002/657/EC, here only extract
Substances
Annex I
96/23/EEC
Limitations
LC or GC
with MS
Groups A
and B
- Only if following either an on-line or offline chromatographic separation
- Only if full scan technique are used or
using at least 3 (group B) or 4 (group A)
identification points for techniques that
do not record the full mass spectra
LC-full-scan
DAD
Group B
Specific requirements for absorption in
UV spectrometry have to be met
Measuring

2.3 Confirmatory methods for analysis
of organics, common requirements
1
No discrimination in cases
that two compounds
give same response,
only chromatographic
analysis without spectrometric
detection is not appropriate.
3
Use of
internal standard
or confirmation by
co-chromatogaphy
3
Use of CRM
or fortification of
material
