Guideline Developments
A free one-hour webinar on ECA’s new Guidance on Sampling and Sample Management was held on 17 June 2025 for all members of the Group. After the event, the speaker, Dr Christopher Burgess, answered the submitted questions in writing. The resulting Q&A document, containing 39 questions and answers, is available in the members’ area. A recording of the webinar on the new Guideline is also available there. It was agreed that similar launch webinars should also be considered for future guideline publications or updates.
The Board is working on updates and revisions of existing guidelines (OOS Guideline from 2013; OOE/OOT Guideline from 2016; APLM Guideline from 2018; AIQ&SV Guideline from  2023). Further discussion will take place during the next Board Meeting in Neuss.
