The DQM Check for Estimated Results checks for sample results between the method detection limit and the reporting limit or the quantitation limit.

 

Check

Check name is EarthSoft.DQM.EstimatedResults = Estimated Results.

 

Parameters

This check uses the reportable_result and test_batch_type parameters from Global Parameters.

There are three other parameters:

1.estimated_detection_limit    

a.defaults to "reporting_detection_limit"

b.can be changed to "quantitation limit"

2.sample_type_code

a.defaults to "N"

3.result_type_code

a.defaults to "TRG"
 

Rules

 
There are two rules and they are:

1.MDL=<RESULT<RL (INORGANIC)

2.MDL=<RESULT<RL (ORGANIC)

 

Exceptions

 

Qualify a result IF:

•DETECT_FLAG = 'Y' and

•If estimated_detection_limit = "reporting_detection_limit" then

oMETHOD_DETECTION_LIMIT <= RESULT_NUMERIC <REPORTING_DETECTION_LIMIT

•Else if estimated_detection_limit = "quantitation_limit" then

oMETHOD_DETECTION_LIMIT <= RESULT_NUMERIC < QUANTITATION_LIMIT

 

Errors

 

An error is listed in the Errors tab of the DQM Qualification Report Form if:

•METHOD_DETECTION_LIMIT, REPORTING_DETECTION_LIMIT, QUANTITATION_LIMIT or RESULT_NUMERIC is NULL

•There is an error when DETECTION_LIMIT_UNIT is converted to RESULT_UNIT
