Data Validation Services
Engineers, regulatory officials, environmental consultants, geologists and chemists often make important and expensive decisions based upon analytical results. Sometimes the reliability of the laboratory data can be called into question and an independent, third party assessment of the data plays an important role. This third party assessment is referred to as data validation. Quality assurance officers and QA managers perform data validation for projects. Additionally we perform laboratory quality audits where needed. Our QA officers and QA managers are trained environmental laboratory scientists with more than 10 years of experience in the field.
Laboratory data packages can be reviewed on several levels depending on the project needs.
Level I and II are concerned with completeness of the data package and are more accurately referred to as data verification.
Level III begins with the process of data verification but it also includes assessment of all results reported in the standard data package. Qualifiers are issued at this level and above.
Level IV constitutes the most extensive and exhaustive review and verifies the final result calculation from the raw laboratory data. An independent report is generated at this level and compared to the original laboratory data as the final product.
