DMRQA Remediation
Corrective Actions must be negotiated by December 8th
If you received a "not acceptable" on a DMRQA analyte, you have until December 8, 2003 to negotiate a corrective action with your DMRQA coordinator. As the remediation deadline and the holidays rapidly approach, you can meet your corrective action requirements quickly by ordering PT STAT samples. Most states and NELAC now accept quick turnaround samples for prompt remediation and reinstatement. APG's PT STAT program allows you to receive your samples the next business day after ordering them. APG will evaluate your results, and ship your report to you and the accrediting authority of your choice within 48 business hours via Fed Ex Priority. If your corrective action does not require immediate remediation, APG provides monthly studies to meet your remediation needs.

Please contact your account manager, via email at j.wise@apgqa.com, or via phone at 800-272-4442 if we can be of service.
