About this file
This document is a technical specification exhibit for electronic data deliverables (EDD) related to laboratory analytical services for Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The specification applies to all environmental and waste sample analyses conducted for BNL and establishes the required format, structure, and content standards for submitting laboratory results through BNL's Environmental Information Management System (EIMS).
Contractors and laboratories must deliver analytical data as pipe-delimited ASCII text files with a standardized format containing three sections: a sample header with 12 fields, sample metadata, and analytical results with 25 fields per analyte record. All dates must be formatted as mm/dd/yy, times in 24-hour military format without colons, and all alphabetic characters in uppercase. Each sample delivery group (SDG) corresponding to one Chain of Custody Record must be compressed into a single WinZip file and transmitted to the EIMS Project Manager via email. The data contents must match hard copy reports exactly, except for diluted samples where only final calculated results are reported. Required fields include Chain of Custody number, Site ID, sample matrix, sample ID, sample date and time, receipt date, sample depth, CAS number, analyte name, concentration, detection limit, analysis date, analytical method, batch ID, extraction date, dilution factor, and various quality control parameters. Documentation must accompany each submission including Chain of Custody number, project name and manager, BNL account number, and SDG name. The specification includes detailed data dictionaries defining all field formats and legal values for restricted fields such as sample QC codes (LCS, MS, MSD, MB, etc.), analyte QC codes (IS, SU, S), matrices (water, soil, sediment, air, etc.), and units of measurement for both radiochemical and non-radiochemical analyses.

Technical Specifications for Hazardous Chemical and Radiochemical Analytical Laboratory
Services - Part II Specifications for Environmental Information Management System (EIMS)
Analytical Data Format
DRAFT
Revised 7/7/16
Exhibit 1
SPECIFICATIONS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EIMS) ANALYTICAL ELECTRONIC DATA DELIVERABLE (EDD) FORMAT
PURPOSE
To provide specifications for the delivery of laboratory analysis results for environmental samples taken by or for the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
SCOPE
Applies to all environmental and waste samples.
GENERAL
BNL maintains an Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) that contains the results of laboratory analysis of samples of environmental and waste media. A template has been developed to facilitate data entry to this table. BNL will provide each contractor or laboratory with the template (Attachment 1) and its associated data dictionary (Attachment 2). The contractor shall enter all data following the formatting conventions provided in this document. Electronic copies of supporting documentation (see below) shall be provided to the BNL as part of the contractor’s deliverable requirements.
INSTRUCTIONS
BNL shall provide each contractor or laboratory the required electronic data deliverable file format (Attachment 1), a sample file (Attachment 2), a listing of the field descriptions for each field in the file (Attachment 3), and a listing of legal values for restricted fields (Attachment 4.
Formatting Conventions: the contractor shall enter the laboratory analytical data according to the following formatting conventions:
All dates are mm/dd/yy.
All times are military (24 hr), no colons.
Fields should not be padded with spaces or tabs.
No fields may be omitted.
No extra fields may be added (no extra pipe at end of line).
Fields lacking data (not applicable or missing data) should be left blank.
All alpha characters must be upper case.
Deliverables:
Each file shall be delivered to BNL as a pipe-(|) delimited ASCII text file (Attachment 2). Each sample shall constitute a single file. File names must be unique, preferably the same as the Sample ID in the file. Files shall be delivered as Sample Delivery Groups (SDGs) corresponding to the samples on one Chain of Custody Record form and their associated laboratory QC data. Each SDG shall be compressed into a single WinZip file and e-mailed to the EIMS Project Manager. If the electronic deliverable must be sent on diskette, each SDG must be on a separate diskette.
First line is the header for the Sample data information.
Second line is the Sample metadata.
Third line is the header for the Sample analytical results.
Lines 4-n are the Sample analytical results, 1 record per analyte.
The data contents of the file must match the hard copy data report exactly, except for diluted samples, for which only the final [calculated] result shall be reported..
The contractor shall also provide in the body of the e-mail (or in a letter of transmission for each diskette) documentation including:
Chain of Custody number;
Project name and Project Manager name;
BNL account number;
Sample Delivery Group name.

ELECTRONIC DATA DELIVERABLE TEMPLATE
This template indicates the required number and order of fields in the EIMS electronic data deliverable format. See Attachment 2, Data Dictionary, for a complete description of implementation requirements. Files shall be saved as ASCII text files, with each field separated by a pipe (|).
