Each laboratory providing support to an incident should follow their existing procedures for QA data review. The overall data generation and reporting process for the incident may include the following:

Data generation Data reduction Raw data package generation Analyst review Peer review Final data package generation QA review Sign off by laboratory manager Data release | data review

Sometimes during a response, laboratories may be asked to provide data that has not undergone adequate internal verification. These data should be reported as "Preliminary Data Pending Confirmation." Any results based on these data should be accompanied by documentation of the level of QA/QC.

The ASR may task the PRL with consolidating and validating analytical data reported by the MSLs or the ASR may take on this responsibility. The ASR or PRL should inform laboratories prior to the start of analyses what data the laboratory will be required to submit for data validation. The suggested data validation steps (also known as stage 2a validation) can be found in Section 3.7 of the WLA-RP. Section 3.7 | Analytical Data Validation
