IHM Business – HazMat Report Analysis Different HazMat Reports in Quality Main reasons?
Different expertise level some are not much experienced some work in their own way
Different knowledge and training backgrounds on IHM preparations not all experts got an IHM preparation training not capable of taking representative number of samples
Different laboratory methods some experts are working with non-accredited labs some labs do not perform analysis in comparable methods to the ones in the Guidelines
