Any anization conducting environmental programs by or on behalf of EPA must have a documented quality system ? The QMP documents that quality system You help develop a QMP. How is an anization vulnerable if inadequate data are collected? What Is A Quality System? A framework of management and technical practices that assure that environmental data used to support decisions are: –Of adequate quality and usability for their intended purpose ?
