Status new methods

CIPAC Methods, when proposed by a company or an organization get a first status (draft method) when they are discussed in a CIPAC Meeting. After having been accepted, they receive the status "provisional" in a following CIPAC Meeting, and finally they are accepted as full methods.

In addition, methods may be revised, especially in case of CIPAC MT's. Release of revised methods follow the same procedure by CIPAC. 


DAPF document: Summary of New & Revised CIPAC MT methods

The purpose of the doucment was created and is maintained by DAPF to provide an overview of actual and older/superseded versions of MT methods. 
This document is published on the CIPAC website as CIPAC sees the benefit to support registration applicants, authorities and regulatory bodies as well as control labs on the status of the most recent methods and versions. CIPAC is encouraging the use of the actual methods & versions. However, the German DAPF has created it and is fully responsible for its content and any amendment.
Further information about the German DAPF you find here.
