Abstract
In recognition of the critical importance of data quality, the Office of Water (OW) and the Office of Research and Development (ORD) have cooperated in conducting a comprehensive laboratory performance evaluation (PE) study program since the 1970s. Laboratory PE studies are one of a suite of tools used to ensure the quality of analytical data. PE studies are a relatively efficient and low cost way to determine whether laboratories have the technical capability to accurately analyze samples. This report presents detailed qualitative and quantitative information concerning the uses of and needs for water laboratory PE studies at the Federal, Regional, and State levels. The report is the first comprehensive compilation of descriptive information concerning water laboratory PE studies.
