# Commission Regulation (EC) No 2870/2000 of 19 December 2000 laying down Community reference methods for the analysis of spirits drinks, Division 11: Quality assurance and control

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The chromatograms should be such that anethole and the internal standard are separated from each other and from any interfering substances. The RF i value is calculated from the results for the five injections of solution C (4.5.4). If the coefficient of variation (CV % = (standard deviation/mean)*100)) is within plus or minus 1 %, the RF i average value is acceptable.
The calculation above should be used to calculate the concentration of trans-anethole in the sample selected for the quality control from the linearity control solutions (4.5.3).
If the mean calculated results from analysis of the linearity solution selected for internal quality control sample (IQC) are within plus or minus 2,5 % of their theoretical value, then the results for the unknown samples can be accepted.
