Each method validation procedure includes a description of the method, quality assurance/control checks, blank correction procedure if applicable, and other comments. The method description is used to check the procedures followed in the source test report. The quality assurance/control checks are provided in a table. The table includes a series of questions. if the answer to a question is yes, then the user circles the code which includes the character "a". For example, if a swirl check was not conducted for Method 12, the code sc1a would be circled. If the test report does not provide enough information to answer the question, then the user circles the code which includes the character "b". For example, if the test report did not indicate the varation in probe diameter for Method 12, the code nz2b is circled. For some checks, more than one "a" code is provided. In these instances, each code refers to a different run. For example, if the Method 12 leak check was greater than 0.02 cfm for the second run, the second 1c3a code is circled. It should be noted that all questions are phrased to indicate failures of key method criteria. Therefore, any mark on the table indicates either the information in the report was missing or a key parameter was not satisfied. If the table contains no marks, the test was conducted within guidelines of the method. All of the circled codes are transferred to a database. In addition to verifying key method parameters, calculation checks are conducted for each isokinetic method using the spreadsheets provided in this attachment. One calculation check is conducted per report per method per substance. For example, if a report presented results from methods 428 and 436, two calculation checks are conducted.
