Why EDF?

One time entry, for multiple data uses:

  • Delivers the actual quality data, rather than someone's interpretation of quality data. 
  • Provides a comprehensive data standard for analytical laboratories, allowing different
    laboratories to provide consistent reporting parameters.
  • Promotes the highest potential of data for transfer, review, and interpretation by multiple
    parties associated with current and future projects
  • Provides an electronic project archive of known quality, with historical data that are
    easily accessible and efficiently reviewed by different parties, for use in future
    environmental projects.
  • Promotes dynamic growth of institutional knowledge between laboratories, consultants,
    their clients, and agencies
