QA/QC Questionnaire
Partner’s logo
• On 20th January 2015 a QA/QC Questionnaire was requested to all partners. To be sent by emails to [email protected]
It consists of two separate files: Questionnaire QA_QC_May 2014.docx QA_QC_Questionnaire seawater_biota_sediment_May 2014.xlsx
Such Questionnaire is intended to be a tool to collect information on QA/QC applied to parameters analysis and monitoring prior to data management process, so called ex-ante quality controls.
Questionnaire should be filled by data producers or data providers that are directly responsible for data collection or monitoring.

Questionnaire QA_QC_May 2014.docx is separated into three sections:
a) General questions of laboratory QA/QC according to ISO Guide 17025:2005 (also requested by EQS EU Directive 2008/105)
b) General to all matricesc) Specific to matrices
Sections b) and c) implies to fill tables contained into excel file QA_QC_Questionnaire seawater_biota_sediment_May 2014.xlsx.

QA/QC Questionnaires collection: current status
Partner’s logo
•We received 10 questionnaires•Not for all matrices there are data. Probably not all matrices are monitored?
• Very few data for Antifoulants, Pharmaceuticals, Heavy metals, Radionuclides, plastics
• General remark:
Please specify explicitly your Institute or Organization

QA/QC and MSFD interactions: same clarifications
Partner’s logo
•According to art. 19.3 of EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive:
Member States shall provide the Commission … with access and use rights in respect of data and information
resulting from the initial assessments … and the monitoring programmes
•Chemical monitoring programmes are also base on EU EQS Directive which requires ISO 17025
•QA/QC Questionnaire is related to data production and chemical analytical methods implementation not on data collection or aggregation

QA/QC Questionnaire planned actions
Partner’s logo
•Urge to obtain QA/QC Questionnaires by other partners. Also negative response is useful, i.e. no such information is available
•QA/QC Questionnaires info is crucial for use of data for MSFD implementation. Quality compliant to EQS Directive is a pre-requisite
•How to use such information in SeaDataNet? Probably QF is not enough
•Last remark: for MSFD elaboration “0 values” have to be discarded or used only as an indication for trend analysis.
