Template for the validation report form for tests recommended in the WOAH Terrestrial Manual

Reference Laboratory experts contributing to Terrestrial Manual chapters are invited to use this template to post their validation data online. In this way a repository of validation reports for tests recommended in the Terrestrial Manual will be created for anyone seeking the validation data available for a given test. Before filling in this form, contributors should consult the WOAH Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals (Terrestrial Manual) Chapter 1.1.6 Principles and Methods of Validation of Diagnostic Assays for Infectious Diseases and supporting chapters 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3, which provide information for validation of fundamentally different assays such as for the detection of antibodies, antigens and nucleic acid.
