New Guide for Principles of Detection in Chemical Measurement

1. Scope

This guide will describe the principles and considerations involved in the decision to report detection in chemical measurements. It will consider the types of measurements, the decision context, acceptable error probabilities, and the actions that may follow from a reported detection.

Keywords

detection limit; nondetect; delow detection limit; BDL; ND; limit of detection; LOD; detection probability

Rationale

There is no current guide in this area. Because of the contentious nature of the topic, a guide is needed before standards can be contemplated.
