Abstract: For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that quadratic forms over $E(X)$ satisfy a local-global principle with respect to discrete valuations that are trivial on $E$. In this way new elementary proofs for the local-global principle are achieved in the cases where $E$ is finite or pseudo-algebraically closed. The study is complemented by various examples.
