Laboratories are required to submit sample results electronically using Compliance Monitoring Data Portal (CMDP) or E-Sample Entry (ESE). CMDP is a web application that enables laboratories to electronically report compliance sample results. These sample results can be microbiological, chemical, or radiological. Laboratories can use CMDP to report results by entering data within the online form, uploading an XML file generated from CMDP’s Excel templates, or uploading an XML file generated from a LIMS.
Before using CMDP, you must register with SCS Test for a CMDP Pre-Production (test) account. Your SCS Test account credentials will be your login for CMDP Pre-Production. CMDP is available online, and can be tested out via the Shared CROMERR Services (SCS) Test, although registration is required. Please contact IDEM’s Drinking Water Branch for detailed instructions and training specific to Indiana.
For Existing CMDP Users:
- CMDP is compatible with Internet Explorer 10 or 11. Firefox version 68.0.2 or higher has also been checked for compatibility. It is also compatible some versions of Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
- If you are unable to login to CMDP due to “Invalid credentials”, your password may need changed. Please go to SCS website and click the “forgot your password” link.
- There is no way to delete or correct submitted sample results. You must submit the sample results again with a suffix added to the sample ID. Then be sure to notify IDEM so that we can delete the obsolete sample.
- You can view the sample results you’ve submitted by using Drinking Water Watch. It will take no more than 75 minutes for recently submitted results to appear.
- Public water systems may use a copy of a submitted sample result from the Drinking Water Watch as their copies of record in place of IDEM’s sample result form.
- You no longer need to submit the paper forms to IDEM. Do not mail, fax, or email them to IDEM.
- There is no way to delete or correct submitted sample results. You must submit the sample results again. When you do, use the same sample id with a suffix of your choice. Then be sure to notify IDEM so that we can delete the obsolete sample.
- If you do not know the specific method codes your laboratory is certified for, please contact IDEM for a list of your certified methods and analytes.
