Reliability of any sample data is measured in terms of precision in executing the methodology, the accuracy of surrogate and method-spike recovery, and the reproduceability of duplicate analyses.  The data generated by Spectrum must minimally pass all method-specific criteria established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NELAC, and each State where certifications are held.  In situations where no criteria have been established, Spectrum has implemented in-house data quality objectives to ensure reliable data is published.

To this end, Spectrum has developed a company-wide Quality Assurance Program (QAP).  With strict adherence to Good Laboratory Practices, peer review of data, and a streamlined operational process, Spectrum ensures its clients will receive consistently reliable data with each sample submittal.
