OSHA / NIOSH sampling methods — Scope & Request Planning
Analyte-specific methods define appropriate sampling media and analytical conditions. Jurisdiction and averaging period determine exposure interpretation.
Sample considerations
- Confirm the applicable method, adopted edition and matrix with a qualified provider; no edition currency or compliance is asserted here.
- Specify intended use, product/matrix, hazards and transport constraints. The provider must confirm quantity, containers, controls and suitability before collection.
- Request detection/reporting limits, uncertainty, deviations and the actual authorized or accredited scope where relevant.
