Abstract: To enable the complex valuation of analytical methods footing in the information theory the expansion of the number of partial efficiency coefficients is suggested in accordance with the criterion of ISO validation procedures. For the validation procedure, a novel conversion process for the determination of the efficiency of analytical method was defined. The partial efficiency coefficients in this calculation were defined as the ratio of tolerance and experimentally determined figures of merit.
