The proposed minimum set of tests for certification (compliance) and suggested hierarchy of those tests is included, and suggestions for QA best practices have been added in appendix A . This QC DO manual is meant to advise the RA data providers, without being overly prescriptive, by providing meaningful guidance and thresholds that everyone can accomplish within a National framework. Certain tests have been recommended, but thresholds can vary among and within each RA. The goal is to improve QC through agreed-upon, documented, implementable, and codeable standard processes and procedures"--Conclusion.
