Semi-Volatile Data Review - Initial Calibration
1.3
Is the initial calibration performed with a minimum of five
Calibration Date:
concentration levels for each target analyte?
Instrument ID:
Note: Typical calibration levels are between 5 and 160 µg/L.
Sample ID:
The initial calibration verification is analyzed every twelve
hours or when the CCV indicates a need. The Data Validator
Calibration Concentrations Used:
should record the date of the initial calibration, the instrument
ID, the sample ID associated with each instrument, and the
calibration concentrations used.
Action: No qualification should be taken on the number of
calibration standards alone, but any discrepancies should be
noted and used in conjunction with other information to qualify
data.
1.4
Initial calibration standard Relative Response Factors
(RRFs) for the semi-volatile target compounds and
surrogates listed below must be greater than or equal to
0.010. The RRF for all other semi-volatile target
compounds and surrogates (S) must be greater than or
equal to 0.05.
2,2'-Oxybis(1-Chloropropane)
Benzaldehyde
4-Chloroaniline
Pentachlorophenol
Hexachlorobutadiene
4-Nitroaniline
Hexachlorocyclopentadiene
4,6-Dinitro-2-methylphenol
2-Nitroaniline
N-Nitrosodiphenylamine
3-Nitroaniline
3-3'-Dichlorobenzidine
2,4-Dinitrophenol
4-Chloroaniline-d
(S)

4-Nitrophenol
4-Nitrophenol-d
(S)

Acetophenone
Caprolactam
4,6-Dinitro-2-methylphenol-d
(S)

Action: If any semi-volatile target compound has an RRF value
less than the minimum criterion (0.01 for the compounds listed
above, and 0.05 for all other semi-volatile compounds), use
professional judgment for positive results to qualify the data as “J”
or “R.”
If any semi-volatile target compound has an RRF value less than
the minimum criterion (0.01 for the compounds listed above, and
0.05 for all other semi-volatile compounds), qualify non-detected
compounds as “R.”
1.5
Do the average response factors (RFs) generated from
the initial calibration curve for the System Performance
Check Compounds (SPCCs) meet the following
acceptance criteria:
N-Nitroso-di-n-propylamine
> 0.05
Hexachlorocyclopentadiene
> 0.05
2,4-Dinitrophenol
> 0.05
4-Nitrophenol
> 0.05
Action: If the SPCCs are out of criteria, the laboratory should take
corrective action and a new 5 point calibration should be
generated.
If sample analyses were performed, for any target analyte with an
RF < 0.05, qualify associated non-detects as “R” and
flag
associated positive data as “J.”
