When the reference material cannot be obtained, the method of inter-laboratory comparison can be used. 4.10 The laboratory's periodic verification of reference materials can check the stability of reference materials through internal quality control results. Process requirements 2. Method selection, verification and validation 2.1 Method selection and verification 2.1.3 When using English standards as the test basis, unless the tester is proficient in using the foreign language standards, the laboratory should develop a Chinese work instruction. Other foreign language standards should have Chinese work instructions. Note: When multiple similar test standards are used to test the same item or parameter, the specific requirements of each method may be different, and it is not required that each test standard must have a work instruction, and a common one can be used to cover multiple similar Work instructions for testing standards, but must ensure that the differences between these testing standards can be clearly identified. 2.1.5 When changes in the laboratory may affect the implementation of the validated method, such as changes in the main parameters of the equipment, changes in environmental conditions, etc., the method verification should be repeated. 2.2 Method confirmation 2.2.1 When a laboratory uses a method beyond the scope of the standard, it should be confirmed in accordance with a non-standard method and developed into an internal technical document.
