  "definition": "1. An analyte- and sample-specific process that extends the evaluation of data beyond method, procedural, or contractural compliance (i.e., data verification) to determine the analytical quality of a specific data set.\n\n2. Confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled. In design and development, validation concerns the process of examining a product or result to determine conformance to user needs. OEI: An analyte- and sample-specific process that extends the evaluation of data beyond method, procedural, or contractual compliance (i.e., data verification) to determine the quality of a specific data set.\n\n3. Confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled. In design and development, validation concerns the process of examining a product or result to determine conformance to user needs.\n\n4. The process of determining the legitimacy of data for its state purpose, involving internal consistency checks for outlier removal and definition of levels of confidence.\n\n5. Subsequent testing of a precalibrated model to additional field data, usually under different external conditions, to further examine the model's ability to predict future conditions. Same as verification.\n\n6. A process by which a simulation model is evaluated for its accuracy in representing a system.",
