This standard serves as a guide for MQA programs developed for specialized sectors of the radioassay community, that is bioassay, routine environmental monitoring, environmental restoration and waste management, radiopharmaceuticals, and nuclear power chemistry. The standard also provides the means for establishing the more limited objectives that govern day-to-day operations of an individual laboratory, including mandated protocols, recommendations, and information to implement and maintain a radioassay QA program. The overall utility of radioassay data results from the combination of defensible and traceable measurements, preceded by careful planning to determine data quality objectives (DQO). This standard addresses only those aspects of the user's program that deal with measurement-related issues. Guidance on the use of DQOs is provided in annex . This standard addresses a)The operational framework of a national measurement assurance program b)The roles of the accrediting organization; the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); and the reference, monitoring, and service laboratoriesc)The protocol for the preparation and distribution of test media by the monitoring or reference laboratoriesd)The bases for calculating the required accuracy and precision parame
