QA/QC OVERVIEW

Calscience is committed to providing the highest quality environmental analytical services available. To ensure the production of scientifically sound and legally defensible data of a known and proven quality, an extensive Quality Systems Program has been developed and implemented. Quality Systems includes all quality assurance (QA) policies and quality control (QC) procedures that are delineated in a Quality Systems Manual (QSM) and followed to ensure and document the quality of the analytical data.

Calscience is accredited via the California Department of Health Services under both the National Environmental Accreditation Program (NELAP) and Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) as well as other state agencies throughout the United States.

These accreditations contain specific protocols and practices that assure implementation of comprehensive QA policies and the associated QC procedures. These QA policies, which establish essential and specific QC procedures, are applicable to all areas of Calscience, regardless of size and complexity.

Calscience's Quality System is managed and supervised by a full time Quality Assurance Manager who may issue directives, initiate changes or modifications, specify policies and represent Calscience to clients, agencies, regulatory bodies or other external entities. The QA Manager reports directly to the Laboratory Director.

Calscience's Quality System incorporates practices, procedures and internal/external evaluations to ensure:

• Standardization of Processes
• Deterrence of Improper, Unethical or Illegal Actions
• Foundations for Standardized Implementation of Other Processes
