All monitoring organizations within CARB's PQAO are required to either utilize and follow CARB's Quality Management Plan (QMP), Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) or submit alternatives to CARB's Quality Management Branch (QMB) for review and approval. QMB will use a checklist to verify all necessary components of the SOP are present. 

Below are links to repository tables that contain quality management documents that are utilized by monitoring organizations within CARB's PQAO and other participating PQAOs. Monitoring organizations are responsible for notifying CARB of any changes and providing updated versions of their respective quality management documents. If a monitoring organization chooses to utilize CARB's QMP, QAPPs, or SOPs with certain exceptions or deviations, a Quality Management Document Addendum must be completed and submitted to CARB's QMB for review and approval.  For a copy of a monitoring organization's SOP, please contact us.
