All modifications to methods must be listed on the Case-Narrative Sheet and be written in the laboratory’s standard operating procedures (SOP) if this is a routine procedure or whether a modification was necessary at the time of sample preparation and analysis in order to demonstrate compliance. A list of potentially acceptable modifications that are allowed for meeting RCRA compliance according to the U.S. EPA and TCEQ is presented here. Equipment AA or AE lamp type Gooch crucible/platinum dish size Absorption cell size Graduated cylinder size Amperometer equipment Heating equipment Atomizer type Hydride generator Auto-analyzer equipment Kuderna-Danish size Mixing technology Photometer type Measurement technology Pipet size Reaction procedure Pressure reduction apparatus Automatic concentration equipment Proportionating or peristaltic pump (e.g., TurboVap) Purge gas Beaker and/or flask size Reduction column composition/size Centrifuge tube size Reflux apparatus Chromatographic cleanup/isolation Sample cooling and/or stirring devices column type/size Sample container type/size Chromatography column and Sample digestion apparatus dimensions Chemical oxidation Colorimetric apparatus Microwave digestion Condenser glassware Sample purge cell type/size Connective tubing type Sample trap material/size Dilution glassware type/size Scrubber apparatus size Dissolved oxygen analyzer Separatory funnel size Distillation apparatus Synder column Evaporating dish type/size Solvent delivery System Filter type/size Syringe size Filtration apparatus Titration vessel size Flame AA burner type Vacuum apparatus Fume traps Vial size Furnace AA platform and tube type Glassware stopper type Chemicals
