Environmental Quality Assurance/Quality Control

THIRD-PARTY DATA VALIDATION

Environmental analytical results (data) are the foundation for compliance and remedial decisions. Validity of the data can make the difference between a correct assessment and an unnecessary cleanup effort.
Data validation is a systematic process for reviewing analytical results against a set of criteria to ensure the data are of known and acceptable quality for their intended use.  The validation process is used to identify errors and biases and to qualify data before they are used in a decision-making process.
Data validation should be performed by experienced scientists, independent of data collection and analysis.  For more than 50 combined years, our professionals have used their analytical expertise, including familiarity with organic and inorganic analyses and US EPA’s Functional Guidelines, to perform third-party validation across numerous environmental projects.
Data Validation by eQAQC Consultants, LLC ensures our clients make scientifically sound decisions supported by data of known and documented quality.

LABORATORY AUDITS

An on-site, third-party laboratory audit is an important tool to ensure compliance and to assess data accuracy and defensibility in addressing environmental liabilities. Established standards and criteria must be monitored and reviewed to assure the laboratory is capable of providing reliable data.

Our auditors have strong technical understanding of environmental methods, documentation, data and data validation and have hands on practical experience in an environmental laboratory. Auditors assess each area of the laboratory responsible for sample handling, analysis, and reporting of final analytical results. A comprehensive report of findings and recommended corrective actions to improve laboratory procedures is provided after the on-site audit.

Laboratory Audits by eQAQC Consultants, LLC facilitate selection of laboratories that consistently produce accurate, reliable and defensible data for our clients.
