ACZ Laboratories, Inc. 2773 Downhill Drive Steamboat Springs,CO 80487 (800)334-5493 Report Header Explanations Batch A distinct set of samples analyzed at a specific time Found Value of the QC Type of interest Limit Upper limit for RPD,in%. Lower Lower Recovery Limit,in% (except for LCSS,mg/Kg) MDL Method Detection Limf. Same as Minimum Reporting Limit unless omitted or equal to the PQL(see comment#5) Allows for instrument and annual fluctuations. PCN/SCN A number assigned to reagents/standards to trace to the manufacturer®certificate of analysis PQL Practical Quantitation Limit. Synonymous with the EPA term"minimum lever'. QC True Value of the Control Sample or the amount added to the Spike Rec Recovered amount of the true value or spike added,in%(except for LCSS,mg/Kg) RPD Relative Percent Difference,calculation used for Duplicate QC Types Upper Upper Recovery Limit,in% (except for LCSS,mg/Kg) Sample Value of the Sample of interest QC Sample Types AS Analytical Spike(Post Digestion) LCSWD Laboratory Control Sample-Water Duplicate ASD Analytical Spike(Post Digestion)Duplicate LFB Laboratory Forted Blank CCB Continuing Calibration Blank LFM Laboratory Fortified Matrix CCV Continuing Calibration Venfication standard LFMD Laboratory Forted Matrix Duplicate DUP Sample Duplicate LRB Laboratory Reagent Blank ICB Initial Calibration Blank MS Matrix Spike ICV Initial Calibration Venfication standard MSD Matrix Spike Duplicate ICSAB Inter-element Correction Standard-A plus B solutions PBS Prep Blank-Soil LCSS Laboratory Control Sample-Soil PBW Prep Blank-Water LCSSD Laboratory Control Sample-Soil Duplicate PQV Practical Quantitation Venfication standard LCSW Laboratory Control Sample-Water SDL Serial Dilution OC Sample Type Explanations Blanks Verifies that there is no or minimal contamination in the prep method or calibration procedure Control Samples Verifies the accuracy of the method,including the prep procedure. Duplicates Verifies the precision of the instrument and/or method. Spikes/Fortified Matrix Determines sample matrix interferences,if any. Standard Verifies the validity of the calibration. B Analyte concentration detected at a value between MDL and PQL The associated value is an estimated quantity. H Analysis exceeded method hold time. pH is a field test with an immediate hold time. L Target analyte response was below the laboratory defined negative threshold. U The material was analyzed for,but was not detected above the level of the associated value. The associated value is either the sample quantitation limit or the sample detection limit (1) EPA 600/4-83-020. Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes,March 1983 (2) EPA 600/R-93-100. Methods for the Determination of Inorganic Substances in Environmental Samples,August 1993. (3) EPA 600/R-94-111. Methods for the Determination of Metals in Environmental Samples-Supplement I,May 1994. (4) EPA SW-846. Test Methods for Evaluating Sold Waste (5) Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. (1) QC results calculated from raw data. Results may vary slightly if the rounded values are used in the calculations. (2) Soil,Sludge,and Plant matrices for Inorganic analyses are reported on a dry weight basis (3) Animal matrices for Inorganic analyses are reported on an"as received"basis. (4) An asterisk in the"XQ"column indicates there is an extended qualifier and/or certification qualifier associated with the result. (5) If the MDL equals the PQL or the MDL column is omitted,the PQL is the reporting limit.
