(Guide)Standard Guide for Establishing a Measurement System Quality Control Program for Analytical Chemistry Laboratories Within the Nuclear Industry (Withdrawn 2005)
Standard Guide for Establishing a Measurement System Quality Control Program for Analytical Chemistry Laboratories Within the Nuclear Industry (Withdrawn 2005)
SCOPE
1.1 This standard provides guidance for establishing and maintaining a measurement system quality control program. Guidance is provided for general program considerations, preparation of quality control samples, analysis of quality control samples, quality control data analysis, analyst qualification, measurement system calibration, measurement method qualification, and measurement system maintenance.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This standard provides guidance for establishing and maintaining a measurement system quality control program.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C26 on Nuclear Fuel Cycle, this guide was withdrawn in May 2005 in accordance with the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
