QAPP Worksheet #34: Data Verification, Validation, and Usability Inputs (UFP-QAPP Manual Section 5.2.1 and Table 9) (EPA Guidance QA/G-5, Section 2.4) This worksheet is used to list the inputs that will be used during data verification, validation, and usability assessment. Inputs include all requirements documents (e.g. contracts, SOPs, planning documents), field records (both hard-copy and electronic), and interim and final reports. Data verification is a completeness check that all specified activities involved in data collection and processing have been completed and documented and that the necessary records (objective evidence) are available to proceed to data validation. Data validation is the evaluation of conformance to stated requirements. Examples of requirements documents as well as records subject to verification and validation are listed below in blue text.
