Method Validation for Textile Test Procedures
topic
Textile test method validation characterises accuracy through certified reference material analysis or method comparison, precision through repeatability and intermediate precision experiments, specificity through interference studies, linearity through calibration range validation, and robustness through deliberate variation of method parameters using Youden ruggedness tests to identify critical control factors.
Role
Demonstrates that textile test methods are fit for their intended purpose with documented performance characteristics, satisfying ISO 17025 method validation requirements for in-house developed methods and providing the technical justification for applying standard methods outside their originally validated scope of application.
