Section 10 O\SITE Environmental Laboratories, Inc Revision 0 Quality Assurance Plan February 15, 1996 ' Page 5 of 6 10 3 1 The acceptance criteria for DFTPP and BFB GC/NIS tururig is listed in each ' method and does not vary from the requirements in SW-846 1032 The acceptance criteria for GC and GC/hIS performance evaluation standards (i e , breakdown products), continuing calibration compounds, and system performance check compounds are listed in each method and do not vary from the requirements in SW-846 103 3 The acceptance criteria for mass spectral identification of compounds is listed in each method's SOP and do not vary from the requirements of SW-846 ' 1034 The acceptance criteria for GC and GC/MS surrogates are method specific If an individual sample's recovery is not within lirruts, procedures are listed within each SOP for corrective action 103 5 The Acceptance Criteria for all blanks is an analysis of the blank which is less ' than the reporting limit for each analyte 103 6 If the ICV/CCV is a commercially prepared standard, the acceptance criteria will be within the established limits provided by the supplier If the ICV/CCV is an internally prepared standard, the acceptance criteria are ±3 standard deviations of the mean calculated from accumulated historical data If historical data is being accumulated, the acceptance criteria are +15% of the true value 103 7 The acceptance criteria for matrix spikes is method and matrix dependent If an individual sample recovery is not within the acceptance limits, procedures are listed within each SOP for corrective action These are the similar to the corrective actions for surrogates (Section 10 3 4), with the addition that a QC 1 check sample or Blank Spike is often required to be analyzed 103 8 The control limits for duplicate RPD are method dependent In general, the ' observed value must be greater than five times the detection limit and the RPD criteria are either <20% or the value listed in each method for RPD or for performance evaluation studies, whichever is greater Current criteria is listed in each method SOP 103 9 If any of these parameters are out of control (e g , the RPD is greater than the 1 criteria and the values of the samples are greater than 5X the detection lurut), corrective action must be taken Data may not be reported if the calibration verification or the second source LCS is out of control If, after appropriate corrective actions for other types of out of control events, the parameter is still out of control, the data may be flagged as out of control and a narrative Word 6 0 loeLsec 10 doc
