laboratory should report results to the Performance Evaluation Program Administrator no later

than 30 days after the sample expiration date. The service laboratory may choose to analyze

the blank samples or not. They are strictly for the laboratory's own use.

5.2.2.11 The service laboratory shall use the analytical procedure and counting times normally

employed for routine measurement of the radionuclide for the DOE facility when analyzing the

test samples. Any deviations from the routine analysis protocol shall be documented in the

report to the performance testing laboratory.

5.2.2.12 The service laboratory shall submit a report to the performance testing laboratory.

The reporting of measurement results from the testing analytes shall include an estimation of

the total combined (overall) error for each result. The methodology for estimation of errors

and a discussion of the reporting of errors are found in Section 4.0 and Appendix D of ANSI

N13.30-1996.

5.2.2.13 The service laboratory shall report data using the software provided by the testing

laboratory.
