QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL Quality is an intrinsic part of RMA Group's operations. It is the first topic on every management agenda, and it permeates the daily activities of every employee. Our internal Quality Control program reflects our specific commitment to go beyond mere compliance with basic requirements. The program is a major piece of RMA Group's mission: to provide quality laboratory testing services meeting a broad range of our clients' needs. The objective of RMA Group's Quality Control Program is to ensure that the test data we provide meet our clients' quality objectives. In most cases, the aspects of quality that concern our clients most are the accuracy, precision, and completeness of our test results. We maintain control of our test results through the use of technical oversight by registered civil engineers, internal audits of project documentation, our continual participation in reference sample programs and through training and proficiency evaluations for all of our technical staff. All of the field and laboratory tests performed for projects will be performed under the responsible charge of a registered civil engineer who will provide technical oversight of RMA Group's field and laboratory activities. Technical oversight includes reviewing test data and reports for precision, accuracy and completion and monitoring the procedures and equipment utilized to perform testing to verify conformance with relevant specifications. Laboratory staff is directed to immediately report unusual observations or findings to the engineer in responsible charge of the laboratory. This allows the engineer to evaluate the test procedure and results and make a determination regarding the validity of any unusual findings.
