Logbooks: a key to test/experiment data integrity
The Waste Management and Transportation Directorate of Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is applying a QA Program in accordance with DOE/AL Order 5700.6A to the acquisition of research and technology (R and T) data. This QA Program has recently placed emphasis on the importance of test/experiment logbooks to data integrity. This paper addresses the rationale as well as the entries (and supporting data) necessary for generating a complete and defensible logbook. Since such entries may be either of a one-time or repetitive nature, further distinctions and guidance are offered. This paper also addresses logbook maintenance, the time spent in documenting performance history may be lost or rendered ineffectual. Also, the human engineering of logbook generation is considered so that a structured format can be followed.
