This session will focus on the “What to look for when auditing an Aerial Drift Study and a Field Volatility Study.”  We will look at the regulatory procedures for conducting these studies. Discussing such documents as the ‘’ U.S. EPA Generic Verification Protocol for Testing Pesticide Application Spray Drift Reduction Technologies for Row and Field Crops”, T/QAP and the ASAE S561.1 APR2004 (R2013) Procedure for Measuring Drift Deposits from Ground, Orchard, and Aerial Sprayers.  We will review the ASAE S561.1 test procedures and the T/QAP requirements and how we are adapting these studies to the GLP quality systems standards for FIFRA studies.  GLP Compliance is a Management System designed to assure that a study is conducted by qualified personnel, working in the proper facilities, using the appropriate test system, properly recorded and documented, overseen by an independent QAU and with raw data properly archived and retrievable at an inspection.<br/> <br/>This session will focus on the field inspection, the field data recording and key elements to look for in a field notebook for these types of studies.  GLP studies must be traceable and re-constructible, therefore, if something is not written down then it didn’t happen.  As agrochemical professionals and GLP Quality Assurance Units, we will look at inspectional tips on reviewing and auditing raw data and documentation.
