ISO 8466-2:2001

Water quality - Calibration and evaluation of analytical methods and estimation of performance characteristics - Part 2 : calibration strategy for non-linear second-order calibration functions

It is not always possible to accurately describe the relationship between a set of calibration points with a rectilinear

curve, even by decreasing the working range. Instead of the linear regression analysis, a least-squares fit to a

second-order polynomial is applied (see test for linearity in 4.1.3 of ISO 8466-1:1990[1]). Using this fit, it is possible

to calculate not only the calibration function but also the confidence interval associated with it.

This part of ISO 8466 is intended primarily for use in method development and may not necessarily be applicable to

all routine analyses.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
