EPA's Quality System for Environmental Data and Technology
EPA uses its Quality System to manage the quality of its environmental
data collection, generation, and use. The primary goal of the Quality
System is to ensure that our environmental data are of sufficient quantity
and quality to support the data's intended use. Under the EPA Quality
System, EPA organizations develop and implement supporting quality systems.
Similar specifications may also apply to contractors, grantees, and other
recipients of financial assistance from EPA.
