The reportingLimit on an AnalyticalResult is typically higher than the detectionLimit and represents the concentration below which the laboratory will not provide a numeric estimate. Results with concentrations between the detectionLimit and reportingLimit are often reported as non-detects or with a "J" qualifier. Compliance staff use reportingLimit to understand the practical sensitivity of the analysis for each SamplingEvent. When a reportingLimit is close to or exceeds a relevant ThresholdValue, the laboratory method may not be suitable for demonstrating compliance at that site.

Analytical Result Reporting Limit
The `reportingLimit` on an AnalyticalResult is the lowest concentration the laboratory will report as a quantified numerical value rather than a non-detect.
