All procedures are based on, and comply with, recognised departmental and external standards to ensure that the project delivers data of the highest possible standard. Level of data audit is a review of summary results, by comparing the data to previous minimum and maximum data, considering what is reasonable for that parameter in that general location, and comparing lab and field data for the same parameter from the same sampling date to see if variance is reasonable. Full details describing location, date and other attributes of water samples are recorded and all instruments are regularly serviced and calibrated. All laboratories analysis is undertaken at a NATA accredited laboratory. Where a laboratory result is less than the detectable limit for a parameter, the detection limit has been used for analysis.
