Why a ‘new’ flexible scope in plant health
New EU phytosanitary rules (14-12-2019)• Official Controls Regulation 2017/625• Plant Health Regulation 2016/2031
Implications• All official tests under accreditation per 29-4-2022

Why a ‘new’ flexible scope in plant health
• Many organism-matrix (host) combinationVariable each year
• Fixed and flexible scope will not allowaccreditation of all official tests
• Discussion with national Accreditation Body forphyto-flexscope

Validation
Performance characteristics
- Analytical sensitivity- Analytical specificity
- Inclusivity (intraspecies variability)- Exclusivity (interspecies variability)
- Selectivity (matrix effects)- Repeatability- Reproducibility

Quality assurance within PhytoFlex scope
1st line controlpositive and negative control at test levelsecond morphological identification
2nd and/or 3rd line controlNot feasible at test level, because of potentially unlimited number of organism-matrix combinations
Multi-annual assurance plan with annuallyrotation of supergroups (family, genus)each method (ELISA, PCR)blind samples at process level (non-targeted samples)

The PhytoFlex potentially
• Enables accreditation of unlimited number of organism –matrix (host) combinations by risk-based validationsupported by expertise and quality assurance
• Fits within risk-based approach of ISO 17025 (2017) -expected to be accepted by the Dutch Accreditation Board this year
• Allows meeting the demands of the new phytosanitaryrules that apply from 14 December 2019

Phyto-flex scope: experiences and challenges• Experiences:
Concept is complex – understanding difficultAlertness on ‘correct use’ of tests required
• Development of concept is ongoing process
• ChallengesValidation is still timelyLack of reference materialsFocus further development: ‘fit for purpose’
