This document specifies the control and approval of in vitro diagnostic reagents used in animal health for immunological analyses with a qualitative expression of test results.

This document is applicable to diagnostic reagents, as a priority for infectious (bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic) or prion diseases and associated animal species for which harmonization of practices in this area is needed, i.e. those for which the national, regional or international regulatory framework provides for the control of trade in animals and/or animal products and/or the definition of a health status (absence of infection) of areas, establishments or individuals. While all reagents designated by the competent authorities fall under the scope of this document, the authorities or any other animal health stakeholder can choose to derogate in specific and exceptional situations such as emerging, exotic or rare diseases.

This document is not applicable to all existing diagnostic reagents, in particular those for which certain parameters described in this document cannot be validly evaluated in accordance with international requirements, due, e.g. to the absence of a specific reference method and/or accessible and duly validated reference materials (RMs).

This document does not cover the step in which the user verifies a reagent (analysis method adoption).
