Sometimes during a response, laboratories may be asked to provide data that has not undergone adequate internal verification. These data should be reported as "Preliminary Data Pending Confirmation." Any results based on these data should be accompanied by documentation of the level of QA/QC.

The ASR may task the PRL with consolidating and validating analytical data reported by the MSLs or the ASR may take on this responsibility. The ASR or PRL should inform laboratories prior to the start of analyses what data the laboratory will be required to submit for data validation. The suggested data validation steps (also known as stage 2a validation) can be found in Section 3.7 of the WLA-RP.
