A note to our customers regarding the Transmit function on the www.APGQA.com website for DMRQA study data:
APG takes pride in providing laboratories with useful data to meet their requirements. We removed the transmit function from our online data entry system according to EPA's direction. APG would never jeopardize your study results and therefore did not want to submit unacceptable data to the EPA. We learned that other provider's did not follow these requirements. It is unfortunate that your time and our business was compromised. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that this issue is being resolved with the EPA for future studies.
DMRQA reports will be sent near the end of September. If you should receive a "Not Acceptable" result you will need to submit Corrective Action and remediate by December 5. You can purchase remediation samples from APG. Please download the order form to review your options.

October WP Study Close Date Change
The October WP study close date has been moved up from November 14 to November 10th. DMRQA remediation must be completed by December 5th so this will allow reports to be sent in time to complete corrective action response.
APG systems and paperwork have all been changed to the the November 10th study close date. The data return booklets also include a notification of the new date.
A lab can also use PT STATs or September WP to meet remediation requirements. Find more information on remediation.
