1. SCOPE
This audit criteria supplements PRI AC7101/1. This audit criteria

applies to auditees seeking Nadcap accreditation for Materials Testing
Laboratories – Chemical Analysis.
Guidance and definitions for terms used here can be found in the MTL
Audit Handbook and the corresponding Handbook Supplement. The
Handbook and Supplement should be used as companions to the Audit
Criteria. The Handbook and Supplements are located on
www.eauditnet.com under Resources → Documents → Audit Criteria
→ Materials Testing Laboratories (AC7101/AC7006) → Handbooks &
Guides.
Note: Throughout this audit criteria, the term ‘test method’ refers to a
definitive procedure that produces a test result, including standard
laboratory procedures.
2. ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Chemistry Laboratory Quantitative Analytical Range (Figure 1, see YES NO

Appendix A) is completed for all types of chemical analysis within the
scope of accreditation.
• The purpose of the chemistry laboratory Quantitative Analytical
Range is to demonstrate the analyte levels, both minumum and
maximum, that the laboratory is able to show testing capability
at a stated precision level.
• Quantitative Analytical Range information for Figure 1 is
described in Appendix A.
• An example of a Quantitative Analytical Range is provided in
Appendix A.
PRI operating procedures provide that "This report is published by PRI to advance the state of technical, engineering, and quality

Nadcap AC7101/2 Revision E∆1 -2-
• Figure 1 summarizes Quantitative Analytical Range and

Precision .
• The data listed in Figure 1 (including Quantitative Analytical
Range and Precision) is generated by the laboratory, using
applicable equipment, and is documented.
• The use of the instrument manufacturer’s data for Figure 1 is
prohibited.
• Figure 1 must be completed for each element per test code for
each alloy family within the laboratory scope of accreditation.
• The Quantitative Analytical Range does not have to be
developed by using Certified Reference Materials. When CRM’s
are not available, other reference materials or in-house
reference materials may be used. Laboratories may refer to
ASTM E2972 - Standard Guide for Production, Testing, and
Value Assignment of In-House Reference Materials for Metals,
Ores, and Other Related Materials - as guidance for qualifying
In-house reference materials(IRM’s). Other qualification
methods may be used, refer to section 3.
• Reference materials, developed prior to the publishing of ASTM
E2972 or other published reference material development
guidance are acceptable as long as the analyte values were
developed using a thorough value assignment process. Refer to
section 3 for the requirements of these reference materials.
2.1.1 Quantitative Analytical Range
This information must reflect the testing capabilities, near the extremes
of the calibration, for all elements per alloy base. The laboratory’s
actual quantitative range must be developed from data obtained from
laboratory specific equipment and reference materials.
2.1.2 Precision
This information must reflect the Precision as determined by the

laboratory for each extreme of the Quantitative Analytical Range (the
low end and the upper end). The methodology for determining the
Precision results must be documented. See example in Appendix A
Figure 1. Precision is often referred to as repeatability.

for defining the means by which the stated precision at the upper and
lower limits is determined. Objective evidence for supporting the table is
on file.
