Fawn CAP has specific quidelines, its right there in the questions, did you do what that question is asking and have you documented what was done. They tell you right in the check sheet what needs to be completed. Test validation must be performed on a minimum of 25 cases (they recommend 25- 100) and they tell you how to validate too. There is also an article that you can get on the CAP website on IHC standardization. I have a pdf of it here if you need it.
