10 Appendix - Decision rules and Report version
10.1 Decision Rules
Eurofins Product Testing A/S, declare statement of conformity based on the “Binary Statement for Simple
Acceptance Rule” described in ILAC’s “Guidelines on decision Rules and Statements of Conformity” ILAC-
G8:09/2019.

This means that results above the detection limit are always reported with two significant digits. Results are
evaluated with the same number of significant digits as the corresponding limit values, and conformity is
based on results being less than or equal to limit values.

For limit values with more than two significant digits, the third digit will be used to confirm whether a result
is below or equal to the limit value. It will always be indicated in the evaluation table if this expanded
evaluation is performed.
