7、 also are influenced by thelaboratories and test materials involved in the study.For thatreason,the ILS task group must interpret these estimates,aidedby this guide and using analytical judgment,to decide if themethod is suitable to be balloted for publication as a standard.The task group may use th
8、is guide to help them prepare theprecision and bias statements that are a required part of themethod.5.Interlaboratory Studies5.1 The following statement is required in each test method:5.1.1 This test method has been evaluated in accordancewith Practice E1601 and Guide E1763.Unless otherwise notedi
9、n the precision and bias section,the lower limit in the scope ofeach method specifies the lowest analyte content that may beanalyzed with acceptable error(defined as a nominal 5%riskof obtaining a 50%or larger relative difference in results onthe same test sample in two laboratories).NOTE1this guide
10、 has been found to be useful for calculation of theinterlaboratory quantitation estimate in accordance with Practice D6512,using known reference values in place of the measured values forapplication to that practice.It has been found necessary to replace the zerovalue for the blank with a very small
11、 number in order to apply this practiceto that method to avoid the divide by zero computational error.6.Required Statistical Information6.1 A task group satisfies the requirement for statisticalinformation if the method includes a table of the ILS statisticsprepared in accordance with 6.2 and 6.3 an
