EarthSoft Business Partner, ddms, uses EQuIS Data Qualification Module (DQM) as a tool to assist with PFAS data validation. ddms has a deep knowledge of environmental chemistry within their Environmental Chemistry Services (ECS) Department for third-party data validation and laboratory services. ddms understands that PFAS are currently a focus of intense regulatory investigation with evolving test methods and reporting requirements. ddms applies their data validation expertise and EQuIS DQM knowledge to assist their clients with PFAS projects. EQuIS DQM helps with PFAS validation by enforcing consistent nomenclature, and allowing the user to define how sample types and result types are handled.
EQuIS DQM provides the following benefits:
- Performs quality checks on analytical data and applies qualifiers to results.
- Allows analyte-specific association for surrogates so a recovery failure.
- Changing recovery and detection limits is simple and easy.
- Helps validators determine if data are legally defensible and meet project goals.
