Products’s records for complete process conditions.

5 TEST METHODS

All sampling and analysis was performed by Ektimo unless otherwise specified. Specific details of the

methods are available upon request.

1. Analysis performed by Envirolab, NATA accreditation number 2901. Results were reported to Ektimo on 5 December 2017 in report

number 180796.

6 QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY CONTROL INFORMATION

Ektimo are accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) for the sampling and analysis

of air pollutants from industrial sources. Unless otherwise stated test methods used are accredited with the

National Association of Testing Authorities. For full details, search for Ektimo at NATA’s website

www.nata.com.au.

Ektimo are accredited by NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) to ISO/IEC 17025 - Testing.

ISO/IEC 17025 - Testing requires that a laboratory have adequate equipment to perform the testing, as well as

laboratory personnel with the competence to perform the testing. This quality assurance system is

administered and maintained by the Quality Director.

NATA is a member of APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation) and of ILAC (International

Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation). Through the mutual recognition arrangements with both of these

organisations, NATA accreditation is recognised world –wide.

A formal Quality Control program is in place at Ektimo to monitor analyses performed in the laboratory and

sampling conducted in the field. The program is designed to check where appropriate; the sampling

reproducibility, analytical method, accuracy, precision and the performance of the analyst. The Laboratory

Manager is responsible for the administration and maintenance of this program.

Result Definitions

Australian Drinking Water Guidelines recommend that Thermotolerant Coliform, Faecal Enterococci, & E.Coli levels are less than1cfu/100mL. The recommended maximums are taken from "Australian Drinking Water Guidelines", published by NHMRC & ARMC2011.

Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds whichare similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.

Surrogate Spike

This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank sand or water) fortifiedwith analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.

LCS (LaboratoryControl Sample)

A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix spikeis to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferencesexist.

Matrix Spike

This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample selectedshould be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.

Duplicate

This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as forsamples.

Measurement Uncertainty estimates are available for most tests upon request.

Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity of the analysis whererecommended technical holding times may have been breached.

When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs), the analysis hasproceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse within the THT or as soon aspracticable.

In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples respectively, thesample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.

Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics (+/-50% surrogates)and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics and speciated phenols is acceptable.

Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.

For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.

Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.

Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted during sampleextraction.

Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency to meetor exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix spike recoveries forthe batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
