An overriding consideration for analytical testing and resulting data is the ability to demonstrate that the samples received have been obtained from the location stated and that they have reached the laboratory without alteration. To accomplish this, evidence of collection, shipment, laboratory receipt and laboratory custody, until disposal, must be documented. 
 
Documentation is done through the Chain of Custody form/record (COC) that tracks and documents each sample and the individuals responsible for sample collection, shipment and receipt.
 
A sample is considered in custody if it is:
  1. In a person's actual possession.
  2. In view after being in physical possession.
  3. Locked up/secured so that no tampering can occur after having been in physical custody.
  4. Securely stored in an area restricted to authorized personnel.
