Quality Assurance/Quality Control - QAPP

A QAPP contains 24 elements that describe a project's goals, data needs and assessment, responsible individuals, quality assurance plan, quality control measures (i.e. measurement quality objectives (MQOs)), and reporting deadlines.

A QAPP is project-specific and is designed to provide the type and quality of data required to answer questions posed by the project.
