Reference Validation Definition 
Codex  
CAC/GL 741 
Process to establish the performance characteristics and limitations of an 
analytical method: which analytes, in what kind of matrices, in the presence of which interference. 
Result = precision and trueness values of a certain analytical method under the examined conditions.
1 [pg 2] 
ISO 16140-12 Establishment of the performance characteristics of a method and provision of objective evidence 
that the performance requirements for a specified intended use are fulfilled.2 [pg 2] 
USDA FSIS3 Process to measure performance characteristics of a particular test, with the goal of determining 
whether the test is equivalent to the reference test for the intended conditions of use. “Equivalent” = the 
performance characteristics are statistically indistinguishable.3 [pg 2] 
US FDA4 Demonstration that adequate confidence is provided when the results obtained by the alternative 
method i.e. the commercially available kit, are comparable to or exceed those obtained using the 
reference method using the statistical criteria contained in the approved validation protocol.4 [pg 16] 
Health Canada5 Evaluation of the performance parameters of a new method in comparison to an accepted reference 
method using paired or unpaired samples. In the context of relative validation, the results of the 
reference method are assumed to reflect the true microbiological status of the samples and the 
performance parameters of the alternative method are calculated in relation to this.  (Source: Part 4) 
ISO 17025:20056 The confirmation by examination and the provision of objective evidence that the particular 
requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled.6 
WHAT is Validation? 
5 © 2012 3M. All Rights Reserved. 
Validation:    
1.  Performance characteristics are defined, then… 
2.  compared to a reference method, and then… 
3.  statistically evaluated to determine “equivalence” 
 
A method is validated for the matrices [& sample sizes] included in the validation

Methods requiring validation: 
―  New or original methods 
―  Modifications to validated methods 
―  Extension of scope to include additional analytes, matrices, or changes in 
intended use 
―  Changes involving new technology or automation 
―  Significant parameter changes:  reagents/apparatus, time /temperature 
incubation periods, enrichment media, etc. 
 
 
It is possible that  small changes/matrix 
extensions to a related product etc would not 
need a ‘full validation’ but may need some level 
of testing to assess for unintended differences.

§  “Validated” methods are required for conducting “Official Testing” 
―  Official = adjective, relating to an authority or public body and its activities and 
responsibilities [Oxford online dictionary] 
§  European Union regulations specifically stipulate validated methods that have 
been collaboratively studied 
§  Internationally, regulatory agencies require, or at least prefer, to use methods 
that have been validated and collaboratively studied.  
§  Some global regulatory agencies require AOAC Official Methods of Analysis to 
receive Final Action, before they may be used as an “Official” method 
WHY are Validated methods important?

Agency Method Validation Requirements 
Codex  
CAC/GL 218 
5.2.1   Whenever possible, only methods for which the reliability (accuracy, reproducibility, inter- and 
intra-laboratory variation) has been statistically established in comparative or collaborative studies 
in several laboratories should be used.   
(EC) No 
2073/20079 
The use of alternative analytical methods is acceptable when the methods are validated against the 
reference method in Annex I and if a proprietary method, certified by a third party in accordance 
with the protocol set out in EN/ISO standard 16140 or other internationally accepted similar protocols, is 
used. Pg 9 
USDA FSIS11 All analytical methods described in FSIS-MLG have been scientifically validated and are considered fit for 
their intended purpose.  Laboratories may also use other validated testing methods that differ from the 
methods described in FSIS-MLG.  For the intended conditions of use, the performance characteristics of 
the new method and the well characterized method should be statistically indistinguishable Pg 13 
US FDA4 FDA-BAM presents the agency's preferred laboratory procedures for microbiological analyses of foods 
and cosmetics. Methods…fully validated in a collaborative study monitored and evaluated by an 
independent accrediting body e.g. AOAC-OMA, AFNOR, etc. require in-house verification for the “first 
use”… 
Health Canada5 HPB Methods and Laboratory Procedures are generally used to determine compliance with the Food and 
Drugs Act and Regulations.  In general, methods published in the Compendium of Analytical Methods 
for which the "application" section is appropriate for the intended purpose are used for microbiological 
testing of food.
