title: International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC). Scientific Committee, Analytical Section. IFCC/WHO principles and recommendations on evaluation of diagnostic reagent sets used in health laboratories with limited resources. Part 3. Selection and evaluation using reference materials. General considerations.
abstract: The purpose of this document is to provide general considerations for the selection and evaluation of clinical chemistry kits in laboratories with limited resources. Separate documents have been developed to provide guidance on experimental procedure, the statistical treatment and interpretation of the data and criteria for acceptable performance of diagnostic kits designed to measure specific analytes.
