The notes. 1 this provision 3. substances referred to in the annex of the analytical methods to be able to identify at least the maximum concentrations of substances with certain accuracy, precision and detection limit. Regardless of the sensitivity of the method of analysis used shall be indicated by the results of at least the same number of digits after the decimal point, which is that rule 3. the maximum levels set out in the annex of the concentration. 2 accuracy is the systematic error and is expressed as the exact size and many repeated measurements of the average value of the difference. 3 precision is the random error and is usually expressed as a result of the sample mean values standard deviation (series within-run and between-run standard deviation of internal). Acceptable accuracy corresponds to double relative standard deviation. 4 detection limit is three times the relative standard deviation of a natural sample of a series in which the parameter is low, or the five times the relative standard deviation of the sample series raw. 5 with a method to be able to determine the total quantity of cyanide in all their forms.
