Inspection Date: 02/19/2020 Inspection Type : Annual Report Review Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This is an AR review for Permit W00006245. The SAR and PAN calculation inconsistency that had occurred in the past
has been correct in the 2019 AR.
There is still a concern regarding the preservation method being implemented when shipping samples to the contract
laboratory. The COCs presented in the AR vary in the temperature the lab is recording as the receiving temperature. The
lab receiving temperature for the COC on January 3, 2019, indicated the receiving temperature of the samples received was
22.3 degrees Celcius. A temperature of 20 degrees Celcius is considered to be ambient room temperature. This
temperature indicates the samples were not placed on ice before shipping the samples to the lab. The laboratory should be
receiving the samples at temperatures below 6 degrees Celcius. Ice is considered to be an accepted method of
preservation.
In the future, please be sure that all samples are submitted to the contract lab are on ice.
The contract lab should be able to provide the permittee with shipping coolers so the samples can be shipped on ice.
