How long should a committee wait after the development of a standard test method to include a precision and bias statement?
It is recommended that ruggedness testing and an interlaboratory testing program be completed before approval of a new standard test method. If a committee determines that a delay is necessary before conducting a full ILS to produce reproducibility, a temporary statement addressing repeatability conditions is permitted for five years. Included in the statement shall be language regarding the anticipated date of actual availability of reproducibility data.
