本标准确立了废物管理和环境修复活动放射性分析数据的验证和确认标准和流程。它适用于现场测量和辐射分析实验室数据生成过程的独立审查。本标准规定了如何根据项目为满足其预期用途而制定的数据质量要求[例如，测量质量目标（MQO）]对数据进行审查和鉴定的要求。虽然本标准并未具体说明所有无损检测和现场测量，但本标准的一般原则和部分内容可能适用。 本标准不涉及非放射性分析测量方法（例如，电感耦合等离子体质谱、动态磷光分析、X射线衍射）。

This standard establishes criteria and processes for verification and validation of radioanalytical data for waste management and environmental remediation activities. It applies to the independent review of the data generation process for field measurements and radioanalytical laboratories. This standard sets the requirements for how the data are reviewed and qualified against the data quality requirements [e.g., measurement quality objectives (MQOs)] that are established by the project to meet their intended use. While this standard does not specifically address all nondestructive assays and in situ measurements, the general principles and some of the elements of this standard may apply. This standard does not address nonradioassay measurement methods (e.g., inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, kinetic phosphorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction).
