Protocols for Method Evaluation |
- General Laboratory Protocol
NIOSH has a general protocol for evaluating methods of laboratory analysis:
Kennedy, E.R.; Fischbach, T.J.; Song, R; Eller, P.M.; Shulman, S.A.:
"Guidelines for Air Sampling and
Analytical Method Development and Evaluation" DHHS(NIOSH) Publication
No. 95-117.
Downloadable software is available that assists with understanding the
tests and calculating the results.
- Diffusive Samplers- for routine evaluation of many
samplers and analytes, the following are equivalent:
- ASTM: Standard Practice for Evaluating the Performance of Diffusive
Samplers, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), D 6246,
1998. Order at www.astm.org.
- ISO: Workplace Atmospheres - Protocol for Evaluating the Performance
of Diffusive Samplers, International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), ISO/FDIS 16107, 1999. Order at www.iso.ch.
- Diffusive Samplers - for more detailed sampler design:
Cassinelli, M.E.; Hull, R.D.; Crable, J.; Teass, A.: Protocol for the
Evaluation of Passive Monitors, in Diffusive Sampling, Royal Society
of Chemistry, London, England, pp. 190 - 202, 1987.
