Sample Custody. Sample custody is a part of any good laboratory or field operation. Where samples may be needed for legal purposes, "chain-of-custody" control procedures must be used. However, as a minimum, the following sample custody procedures will be addressed in the Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Plan: A. Procedures and forms for recording the exact location associated with sample acquisition. B. Standardized field tracking reporting system to establish sample custody in the field prior to shipment. C. Identification of responsible party to act as sample custodian at the laboratory facility authorized to sign for incoming, field samples, and verify the data entered onto the sample custody records. D. Provision for a laboratory sample custody log consisting of serially numbered standard laboratory tracking report sheets. E. Specifications of laboratory sample custody procedures for sample handling, storage and disbursement for analysis. F. Custody procedures for final evidence files. Final evidence files include all originals of laboratory reports and are maintained in a secure area. This element should provide examples of chain-of-custody control records or forms used to record chain-of-custody control for samplers, laboratories and evidence files.

Sample Custody. Chain-of-custody procedures will be used to control and maintain sample custody, whereby the sample possession and handling will be tracked from the source (field) to final disposition at the laboratory. A sample is considered to be in a person's custody if one of the following applies: ■ It is in the person's possession, ■ It is in the person's view after being in his or her possession; or ■ It was in that person's possession and that person has secured it in a vehicle or room. Chain-of-custody procedures are described in SOP SAS-03-02.
