What I want to do or know
While there are many ways to do environmental monitoring, only some have been approved by various agencies for official data. I'm interested in understanding:
- How do these methods become recognized?
- Who can do this?
- What is the process?
- How often are the approved methods reviewed?
I would like to have the information that Rachelle Duvall referred to on the OpenHour, about the standards and testing that usually companies have to perform to submit a new reference method. Is there a link?
Is this a question? Click here to post it to the Questions page.
