  2. QSM Updates and Changes • As you heard from Fred Mclean and Alyssa Wingard on Tuesday, important changes are being made to the requirements in the QSM, Revision 5.0. • We will continue to work with the U.S. Department (DoD) of Defense on all updates and changes. • The QSM will continue to be a joint, consolidated DoD and DOE document. • The QSM has been accepted by the audited laboratories, and they have incorporated its requirements into their policies and procedures.

  3. QSM Updates • Conference calls have been conducted on the following changes to the QSM, Revision 5.0: • Radiochemistry • General formula for calculating detection limit using combined standard uncertainty • Digestion of sediments, sludges, and soils by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SW-846, Method 3050C • Gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy analysis of air • Calibration blank failures • Negative intercepts and negative blanks • Changes to the tables

  4. QSM Update Timeline • Due to the agreement that DoD has with the accreditation bodies, the changes will not be available for DOECAP auditors to use until Fiscal Year 2017. • We need everyone’s help and assistance with the development and review of the proposed updates to the QSM.

  5. Conclusion • The joint DoD/DOE QSM is a success. • The consolidated document has provided uniformity and consistency. • The QSM is an excellent example of different federal agencies working together for a common goal. • The QSM ensures consistency in determination of data quality.
