ABSTRACT

ISO/IEC 17025 and the TNI standard require results to be reported "clearly, unambiguously and objectively and include all the information requested by the customer and necessary for the interpretation of the results." Many laboratories lack an understanding of key issues relating to report of results such as the use of data qualifiers, understanding detection and quantitation limits, and reissuance of reports. This presentation will cover everything needed in a test report to ensure the end user believes it is credible.
