3 What is a Quality System? Quality System Quality Management Quality Assurance Quality Control
4 POLICY/REGULATIONS Internal EPA Policies EPA Order EPA Manual 5360 Consensus Standards ANSI/ASQC E4 ISO 9000 Series External Policies Contracts - 48 CFR 46 Assistance Agreements - 40 CFR 30, 31, and 35 EPA Program & Regional Policy ORGANIZATION/PROGRAM Supporting System Elements (e.g., Procurements, Computer Hardware/Software) Annual Review and Planning (e.g., QAARWP) Quality System Documentation (e.g., QMP) Training/Communication (e.g., Training Plan, Conferences) Systems Assessments (e.g., QSAs) Systematic Planning (e.g., DQO Process) Conduct Study/ Experiment Data Verification & Validation PROJECT QA Project Plan PLANNING Standard Operating Procedures IMPLEMENTATION Technical Assessments Data Quality Assessment ASSESSMENT Defensible Products and Decisions
5 Goals of the EPA Quality System Protect human health and the environment Make correct decisions Conserve/optimize resource use Ensure that environmental programs and decisions are supported by data of the type and quality needed for their intended use
6 Graded Approach QA and QC requirements commensurate with: Importance of work Available resources Unique needs of organization Consequences of potential decision errors
7 EPA Quality System Requirements EPA and non-epa Organization American National Standard, ANSI/ASQC E4 EPA Organizations EPA Order EPA Order 5360 (Quality Manual) Contracts Management Manual (EPA Order 1900) Non-EPA Organizations Federal Acquisition Regulations (for non-epa Organizations
8 American National Consensus Standard ANSI/ASQC E4, Specifications and Guidelines for Quality Systems for Environmental Data Collection and Environmental Technology Programs American National Consensus Standard provides the basis for planning, implementing, documenting, and assessing a quality system Includes non-mandatory guidelines for going beyond minimum requirements
9 EPA Order EPA Order Policy and Program Requirements for the Mandatory Agency-wide Quality System Defines Quality System requirements for EPA organizations Requires participation by every EPA organization collecting and using environmental data for decision making Requires that the EPA Quality System comply with ANSI/ASQC E4-1994
10 EPA Quality Manual 5360 Defines procedures for satisfying the internal EPA Quality System Requirements
11 EPA Contracts Management Manual Requires QA Review Form for contracts, work assignments, delivery orders, and task orders QA Review Form signed by EPA QA Manager or authorized representative.
12 Internal EPA Quality System EPA Organizations must: Requirements Assign a Quality Assurance Manager (QAM) independent of the data generation line of management Document the organization's quality system in a Quality Management Plan (QMP) Provide sufficient resources to implement the quality system Submit a QA Annual Report and Work Plan annually Assess its quality system annually
13 Internal EPA Quality System Requirements - Continued EPA Organizations must: Use of a systematic planning approach for work Approve QA Project Plans prior to start of work Ensure corrective actions from assessments are implemented Implement Quality System requirements in all EPA funded extramural agreements Assess "secondary data" Provide appropriate training for all management and staff
14 Extramural Agreements Extramural Agreements include: Acquisitions including: contracts, work assignments, task orders, technical directives Financial assistance including: Cooperative agreements Grants to state and local governments Research grants Grants to non-profit organizations Interagency agreements
15 Authorizing Regulations for Quality Requirements 48 CFR Part 46, "Federal Acquisition Regulations" 40 CFR Part 30, "Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations" 40 CFR Part 31, "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments" 40 CFR Part 35, "State and Local Assistance" EPA ICR #0866, OMB # , "QA Specifications and Requirements
16 Quality System Requirements for Extramural Agreements EPA requirements for extramural agreements include: Conformance to ANSI/ASQC E Documentation of the organization's quality system (usually called a Quality Management Plan) which should be approved prior to initiating environmental work, and/or Documentation of the application of quality assurance and quality control activities to activityspecific efforts (usually called a QA Project Plan) which should be approved prior initiating environmental data collection.
17 EPA Acquisitions 48 CFR Part 46 Proposal from offeror must include: Quality Management Plan and/or QA Project Plan and/or Combination Quality Management Plan/QA Project Plan QA Project Plan is required for individual projects after award
18 Financial Assistance - Non-Profit Group 40 CFR Part 30 Applications must include: Quality Management Plan or Combination Quality Management Plan and QA Project Plan QA Project Plan is required for individual projects after award
19 Financial Assistance - State and Local Governments 40 CFR Parts 31 and 35 Pre-Award/Application Quality Management Plan required Must demonstrate suitability and effectiveness of Quality System to Award Official Must demonstrate conformance to ANSI/ASQC E4 Post-Award QA Project Plans required for individual projects
20 Financial Assistance- Research Grants 40 CFR Part 30 Applications must include: Quality Management Plan or Combination Quality Management Plan and QA Project Plan QA Project Plan is required for individual projects after award
21 Interagency Agreements EPA Quality System requirements cannot be unilaterally imposed (Office of General Counsel opinion) When EPA provides funding: Add a special condition to invoke conformance with ANSI/ASQC E4 When another Agency provides funding to EPA: EPA Quality System requirements are applicable
22 Aids for Implementing the Quality System-Documentation For EPA, requirements are given in EPA Quality Manual for Environmental Programs (EPA Order 5360) For holders of extramural agreements, requirements are given in EPA Requirements Documents (QA/R- Series) produced by the Quality Staff For everyone, non-mandatory guidelines are given in EPA Guidance Documents (QA/G-Series) produced by the Quality Staff Documents, regulations, and QA contacts are available at
23 Quality Management Tools Quality Management Plans Planning: Implementation: Assessment: QA Project Plans Data Quality Objectives Process QA Project Plans Standard Operating Procedures QA Annual Report and Work Plans Management Assessments Technical Assessments Data Quality Assessment Data Validation and Verification
24 Quality Management Plans Purpose: Responsibility: Documentation: To document how an organization will plan, implement, and assess its Quality System Senior Management EPA Users: Chapter 3, EPA Quality Manual for Environmental Programs (EPA Order 5360) Extramural Users: EPA Requirements for Quality Management Plans (QA/R-2)
25 Quality Management Plan General Requirements The Quality Management Plan must discuss: Mission and quality policy of the organization Specific roles and responsibilities with respect to QA and QC activities Means and structure to assure effective communication Processes used to plan, implement and assess work and effectiveness for QA and QC activities Process for continual improvement of the Quality System
26 QA Project Plans (QAPPs) Purpose: To document type and quality of data for environmental decisions; a blueprint for collecting and accessing data Responsibility: Documentation: Organization performing activity EPA Users: Chapter 5, EPA Quality Manual for Environmental Programs (EPA Order 5360) Extramural Users: EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/R-5) Everyone: Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/G-5)
27 QA Project Plans (QAPPs) Required planning documents that explain how environmental data collection activities are planned, implemented, documented, and assessed during the life cycle of a specific program, project, or task QA Project Plans are required when environmental data operations occur for: Contracts, work assignments, delivery orders Grants, cooperative agreements Interagency agreements (when negotiated) State-EPA agreements Responses to statutory or regulatory requirements and to consent agreements
28 QMPs vs. QAPPs Quality Management Plans reflect activities and policies common to all projects. Quality Assurance Project Plans reflect specific projects. QMP QAPP QAPP QAPP QAPP
29 Systematic Planning Planning is the key to successful programs EPA policy requires that all work be planned using a Systematic Planning Process Quality requirements should be based on a Graded Approach Effective planning must include all stakeholders (data users, data producers, decision makers) to ensure needs are defined at the outset Planning must be documented
30 Data Quality Objectives (DQO) Process Purpose: Responsibility: Guidance: To define type and quality of data that a decision maker needs before carrying out data collection - Saves time and money - Doing it right the first time - Obtaining data sufficient for analysis Developed by project team of data users and data generators Guidance for the DQO Process (QA/G-4) Software: DEFT Software for the DQO Process (QA/G-4D)
31 Common Elements in All Systematic Planning Approaches Questions to be answered: Who is making the decision? Why are data being collected? What data are needed to make the decision? Why does the decision maker need that type and quality of data? How does the decision maker plan to use the data to make a defensible decision? What are the "measures of success" for the project? Get only the type, quantity, and quality of data necessary
32 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Purpose: To document routine technical and administrative activities to ensure consistency in the quality of the product Responsibility: Appropriate technical personnel working with QA Manager Documentation: Guidance for the Preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (QA/G-6)
33 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Written documents that give precise descriptions of routine procedures Detail stepwise process for sample collection operations, laboratory analyses, or equipment use Ensure consistency and conformance with organizational practices Serve as training aids on methods and instrument use Provide ready reference and documentation of proper procedures
34 Quality Assurance Annual Report and Work Plans (QAARWPs) Purpose: To summarize the results of the implementation of an EPA organization's quality system in the previous fiscal year and to describe QA activities planned for the upcoming year Responsibility: Documentation: Senior Management EPA Quality Manual for Environmental Programs (EPA Order 5360)
35 Quality Assurance Annual Report and QAARWPs are: Work Plans (QAARWPs) Management tools for documenting the past fiscal year's activity and for estimating the workload for the current year Required by EPA Order Submitted annually (usually in November) to the Quality Staff, Office of Environmental Information
36 Quality System Assessment Management Technical Data Quality
37 Management Assessments Purpose: To determine conformance with an approved QMP and to assess the suitability and effectiveness of its implementation Responsibility: EPA Managers of individual organizations
38 Quality System Audit A documented activity performed to verify, by examination and evaluation of objective evidence, that applicable elements of the quality system are appropriate and have been developed, documented, and effectively implemented in accordance and in conjunction with specified requirements. Such requirements may be defined by: EPA Orders Extramural Agreement Regulations Approved Quality Management Plans
39 Quality System Audit QSA uses quantitative approach to documented quality systems. Findings are based on objective evidence. QSA is a conformance/compliance audit: Does the quality system conform to specifications? Does the quality system comply with regulations? Does the quality systems satisfy the QMP? QSA does not judge quality of individual data sets.
40 Management Systems Review The qualitative assessment of QA and QC practices to establish if they conform to policies and requirements and are adequately implemented to satisfy needs and expectations. Such policies and requirements may be given by: EPA Orders Extramural Agreement Regulations Approved Quality Management Plans
41 Management Systems Review Similar, but less quantitative than QSA. Applies best to situations where the quality system is not well-documented. Investigative in nature - - seeks to determine what is actually happening. Interview is primary data collection method. MSR does not judge the quality of individual data sets.
42 Technical Assessments Purpose: To evaluate the implementation of a project or activity against its defined technical or quality procedures or criteria Responsibility: Project Managers with the assistance of the appropriate technical personnel, their EPA Manager, and QA Manager Documentation: Guidance on Technical Assessments for Environmental Data Operations (QA/G-7)
43 Technical Assessments Technical Assessments are self or independent evaluation processes used to measure the conformance, performance, or effectiveness of systems Technical Assessments include: Technical Systems Audits Readiness Reviews Surveillances Performance Evaluations Audits of Data Quality Peer Reviews
44 Data Quality Assessment (DQA) Purpose: Responsibility: Documentation: To assess type, quantity, and quality of data - Verifies DQOs - Develops DQOs objectives if not fully developed - Verifies QAPP components - Verifies sample collection procedures Appropriate technical personnel Guidance for DQA: Practical Methods for Data Analysis (QA/G-9) Data Quality Evaluation Statistical Toolbox (DataQUEST) (QA/G-9D)
45 Data Quality Assessment (DQA) Determine if environmental data are of the type, quantity, and quality needed Scientific and statistical evaluation of data The DQA Process may be performed: During a project to check the process of data collection At the end of a project to check if objectives were met The DQA Process provides a tool for confirming that the systematic planning criteria were met
