Description:
Techniques to determine a testing company's ability to conduct a quality stack test for compliance or process engineering purposes are presented. The document has four sections. The first identifies characteristics commonly associated with laboratories that have a history of performing high quality stack tests. The second part suggests questions that can be asked of candidate companies during the selection process and presents process information that should be given to them so that they may be evaluated fairly. The third part presents techniques the evaluator can use at a company's laboratory during a pretest selection visit. The last part presents techniques that can be used during and after the actual test to determine the performance of the testing company and to estimate the quality of their test results.
