WLA-RP and ERLN member laboratories providing support to an incident under a BOA with EPA or other contracting mechanisms may be required to submit results using the format specified in Appendix E. Laboratories may also need to submit additional data (in hardcopy or electronic format) in order for the ASR/PRL to perform a stage 2 validation. The hardcopy or electronic format for these additional data will need to be agreed upon by the ASR and the PRL. In order for data to be compiled and analyzed in a timely manner, it is important that laboratories report data in a consistent format. Appendix E of the WLA-RP provides an example spreadsheet. | Data Reporting Template

Laboratories may share data by any of the following means: submit via email; post to a secure website; submit a hard copy via facsimile (fax); or via telephone, with a full written report provided as a follow up.
