Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Air Contained in Canisters by Method TO-15, SOP No. HW-31 Revision 6

This document is designed to offer the data reviewer guidance in determining the validity of analytical data from the analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in air samples taken in canisters and analyzed by method TO-15. This guidance is somewhat limited in scope and is intended to be used as an aid in the formal technical review process. The guidelines presented in the document will aid the data reviewer in establishing (a) if data meets the specific technical and QC criteria established in the method and/or addenda to it (e.g. modified  analysis request), and (b) the usability/validity and extent of bias of any data not meeting the specific technical and QC criteria established in the method.
