20 ISO Report Content The report shall include, but be limited to, the following (j) Biological reference intervals or diagrams/nomograms supporting clinical decision values, where applicable.

21 Validation of Reference Intervals (1)

22 Harmonised Reference Intervals What is necessary: Appropriate reference Intervals Evidence exists showing that: Methods are the same. Populations are the same. The quality of common reference intervals depends on the quality of evidence used to derive them.

23 Validation of Reference Intervals (2) N=20 18 (90%) or more must fall into reference interval N=20,000?? 18,000 (90%) or more must fall into reference interval??
