Task-Specific Validation
Definition
Evidence that a defined method performs adequately for its particular intended use. Performance should be assessed on material relevant to the intended use and independent of method development. Instruments, specimen types and operating conditions can differ.
- Context
- Method evaluation
For example, a method assessed for one specimen type needs appropriate evidence before its performance is claimed for another substantially different material.
Success on a convenient dataset does not guarantee casework performance. Explain material differences rather than treating every external sample as equivalent validation.
