EPA Protocol Calibration
In addition, an independent precision check between 0.08 and 0.10 ppm may be
required at least once every two weeks. Table 8-3 summarizes the quality
assurance activities for routine operations. A discussion of each activity appears in
the following sections.
To provide for documentation and accountability of activities, a checklist should be
compiled and then filled out by the field operator as each activity is completed.
