PERFORMANCE GATES

Performance gates provide an indication of a level of performance that might reasonably be expected
from a laboratory being monitored by this standard in a QA/QC program. They take into account
errors attributable to measurement (analytical bias and precision) and standard variability. For an
effective standard, the contribution of the latter should be negligible in comparison to measurement
errors.

There are three main sources of measurement error:


inter-lab bias
inter-batch bias
repeatability (analytical precision)

The standard is submitted to one or more labs at random with the aim of evaluating and/or comparing
their competence and the performance gates accommodate all sources of potential error.

The performance gates are calculated from the standard deviation of the pooled individual analyses
generated from the certification program. All individual and lab dataset (batch) outliers are removed
prior to determination of the standard deviation. These outliers can only be removed after the absolute
homogeneity of the CRM has been independently established, i.e. the outliers must be confidently
deemed to be analytical rather than arising from inhomogeneity of the CRM.

Performance gates have been calculated for one, two and three standard deviations of the accepted pool
of certification data. As a guide these intervals may be regarded as: informational (1s ), warning or
rejection for multiple outliers (2s ), or rejection for individual outliers (3s ) in QC monitoring, although
their precise application should be at the discretion of the QC manager concerned.
