Portuguese term or phrase: estremos da faixa
Text:

"Quanto à validação do método de teor:
a. A inferência da exatidão a partir da precisão/ linearidade/ especificidade não foi aceita, pois não há essa previsão na RE no. 899/2003 (ou na RDC no. XXX) e tal abordagem não é apropriada para o caso, pois não é possível inferir que a exatidão nos estremos da faixa também será apropriada. Destacamos que a RE no. 899/2003 determina que: “A exatidão do método deve ser determinada após o estabelecimento da linearidade, do intervalo linear e da especificidade do mesmo, sendo verificada a partir de, no mínimo, 9 (nove) determinações contemplando o intervalo linear do procedimento, ou seja, 3 (três) concentrações, baixa, média e alta, com 3 (três) réplicas cada."

at the extremities of the range


Explanation:
It looks like there's a typo in the source text. It should be "extremos", not "estremos".

extremo: O ponto mais distante do centro de algo; EXTREMIDADE (Aulete)

Based on this segment of Anvisa's RE #899/2003, I believe "range" would be the proper translation for "faixa":

"The validation must guarantee, through experimental studies, that the method meets the requirements of the analytical applications, ensuring the reliability of the results. For this, it must present suitable specificity, linearity, range, precision, sensitivity, quantification limit and accuracy."

Although not the same context, here's some correlation between the two terms:

"Range ou Faixa: Todos os instrumentos, sem exceção, possuem um valor mínimo e um valor máximo que conseguem medir corretamente, o que chamamos de faixa."

limits of the range/upper and lower limit


Explanation:
When we talk about tests, assays, and the like, we are used to employ the terms upper and lower limits for any given range, hence I believe you could use the terms limits of the range here, or upper and lower limits only.
