HOMOGENEITY ASSESSMENT
Homogeneity was assessed in accordance with ISO Guide 35. Completed units were
sampled using a random stratified sampling protocol. The results of chemical analysis
were then compared by Single Factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The uncertainty
due to homogeneity was derived from the ANOVA. Heterogeneity was not detected
under the conditions of the ANOVA.
Analytical Method: GC Sample size: ~ 500 µL
UNCERTAINTY STATEMENT
Uncertainty values in this document are expressed as Expanded Uncertainty (Ucrm)
corresponding to the 95% confidence interval. Ucrm is derived from the combined
standard uncertainty multiplied by the coverage factor k, which is obtained from a t-
distribution and degrees of freedom. The components of combined standard uncertainty
include the uncertainties due to characterization, homogeneity, long term stability, and
short term stability (transport). The components due to stability are generally considered
to be negligible unless otherwise indicated by stability studies.
STABILITY ASSESSMENT
Significance of the stability assessment will be demonstrated if the analytical result of the
study and the range of values represented by the Expanded Uncertainty do not overlap the
result of the original assay and the range of its values represented by the Expanded
Uncertainty. The method employed will usually be the same method used to characterize
the assay value in the initial evaluation.

Long Term Stability Evaluation - An assessment, or re-test, versus a Compendial
Reference Standard may be scheduled, within the 3 year anniversary date of a release of a
Secondary Standard. The re-test interval will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Short Term Stability Study - It is useful to assess stability under reasonably anticipated,
short term transport conditions by simulating exposure of the product to humidity and
temperature stress. This type of study is conducted under controlled conditions of
elevated temperature and humidity.
