What matrices will all tests be performed? Sample matrices - All types of sample matrices can be expected from water to oils, sludges, multiphase liquids, and solid materials such as wood, filters, rags and soil There are a few parameters that are not adequately detailed (Bac T, total halogens, paint filter test, method 815T). Clarification on these is needed. Bac T ? bacterialogical testing (water) Total Halogens - Method 8021B in SW-846 Paint Filter Test - Method 9095 in SW-846 method 815T Are there any specific accreditations or certifications that the labs need to demonstrate, especially for regulatory compliance? There are not specific accredidations required, however, results must be acceptable for demonstration of compliance with the RCRA Hazardous waste program, Clean Water Act discharge permits, and Safe Drinking Water Act standards.
