Guidance on the estimation of measurement uncertainty for GMO testing laboratories
A guidance document on the estimation of measurement uncertainty has been compiled on request of the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL) and as a follow-up of a workshop on measurement uncertainty in the GMO sector, organised by IRMM in July 2005. It outlines the technical issues related to the estimation of measurement uncertainty involved in the GMO sector. In particular it gives guidance to GMO testing laboratories on how to estimate the analytical variability of quantitative analytical results obtained by real-time PCR. Two selected approaches for the estimation of measurement uncertainty are presented in detail; references to alternative approaches are given.

Guidance document on the use of reference materials in genetic testing
The aim of this guidance document is to provide a short and user-friendly support to genetic testing laboratories. It is based on internationally harmonised basic concepts and terminology for quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Relevant terms of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM) are explained and references to other expert texts are provided. The document includes discussion and clarification of several often misunderstood issues. It takes into account the current scientific knowledge and the existing technological capabilities. This document may be revised, when appropriate, to take into account progress in science and technology.
