Are You Intending To Use August WP For DMRQA?
One significant change for DMRQA Study 23 is that August 2003 WP results cannot be used to meet DMRQA Study 23 requirements. If you were relying on August WP to meet DMRQA Study 23 requirements, we can ship DMRQA samples for next day delivery and the results can be reported online until 11:59 PM EST on August 29th. There is still time. Call us today if you need to order DMRQA samples.

What's Next
With August 29th just around the corner, everyone will be patiently awaiting results. If you receive an evaluation of acceptable on all of your data then you have met your DMRQA Study 23 requirements. If you receive a 'not acceptable' evaluation, remediation typically involves writing a corrective action and running another blind sample. You should contact your State DMRQA Coordinator to determine your remediation requirements.

Prepare for DMRQA 24 by deciding what study to use for DMRQA. Some customers find that the broader scope of products offered in the June and July WP Studies best meet their requirements. Other customers find that the DMRQA Specific samples are the perfect fit. The choice is yours and scheduling now for DMRQA Study 24 means you have one less thing to remember.
