The resulting data shall be recorded in such a way that trends are detectable and, where practicable, statistical techniques shall be applied to review the results. This monitoring shall be planned and reviewed and shall include, where appropriate, but not be limited to: \\ a) use of reference materials or quality control materials; \\ b) use of alternative instrumentation that has been calibrated to provide traceable results; \\ c) functional check(s) of measuring and testing equipment; \\ d) use of check or working standards with control charts, where applicable; \\ e) intermediate checks on measuring equipment; \\ f) replicate tests or calibrations using the same or different methods; \\ g) retesting or recalibration of retained items; \\ h) correlation of results for different characteristics of an item; \\ i) review of reported results; \\ j) intralaboratory comparisons; \\ k) testing of blind sample(s). |  7.7.1  | |  **13**  | The laboratory shall have a //**procedure**// for monitoring the validity of results.
