The EUCAST guidelines are freely available to all of their users.

To establish a reference range, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends testing at least 120 patient samples. In contrast, for the verification of a reference range, it is recommended to use a total of 40 samples, 20 from healthy men and 20 from healthy women, and the results should be compared to the published reference range.
These grades are assigned based on agreed upon values called breakpoints. Breakpoints are published by standards development organizations such as the U.S. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST).
The first version of the standard was published in 2003, and it was revised in 2007 to align more closely to ISO/IEC 17025. [1] A third edition of the standard was published in 2012, which revised the layout again and added a section on laboratory information management.
ATCC also serves to set standards for biological reagent and assay quality. These standards are used by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as organizations such as AOAC International, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the U.S. Pharmacopeia, and the World Health Organization.
