<p>This document specifies the protocol for the verification of reference methods and validated alternative methods for implementation in the user laboratory.</p>
<p>This document is applicable to the verification of methods used for the analysis (detection and/or quantification), confirmation and typing of microorganisms in:</p>
<p>— products intended for human consumption;</p>
<p>— products intended for animal feeding;</p>
<p>— environmental samples in the area of food and feed production, handling;</p>
<p>— samples from the primary production stage.</p>
<p>This document is, in particular, applicable to bacteria and fungi. Some clauses can be applicable to other (micro)organisms or their metabolites, to be determined on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>The technical protocols for the verification of validated qualitative methods and validated quantitative methods are described in Clauses 5 and 6. The technical protocol for the verification of validated alternative confirmation and typing methods is described in Clause 7. The protocols for the verification of non-validated reference methods are described in Annex F.</p>
