DIN 10741:2010-08

This standard specifies procedural principles for an in-house ad hoc validation procedure for the analysis of honey for organic residues or contaminants. It applies both to product safety and health-related consumer protection. The single steps for performing the ad hoc validation procedure are described in the standard and general recommendations are given regarding the approach during the validation of non-validated analytical methods which require a quick provision of analytical results. If analytical results have to be achieved very quickly by a non-validated method, at least the requirements given in this standard shall be met to assure a sufficient accuracy of the analytical results at the targeted decision limit. This standard also describes the performance criteria for this in-house ad hoc validation procedure. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 057-05-08 AA "Honiguntersuchung" ("Analysis of honey") at DIN.
