The primary purpose of this calorimeter is the measurement of electron and photon kinematic properties. It also provides a crucial input for measuring jets and missing transverse momentum. An advanced data monitoring procedure was designed to quickly identify issues that would affect detector performance and ensure that only the best quality data are used for physics analysis. This article presents the validation procedure developed during the 2011 and 2012 LHC data-taking periods, in which more than 98% of the proton-proton luminosity recorded by ATLAS at a centre-of-mass energy of 7-8 TeV had calorimeter data quality suitable for physics analysis. %K Particle identification methods %K Calorimeters %K Large detector systems for particle and astroparticle physics %R 10.1088/1748-0221/9/07/P07024 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1405.3768 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/9/07/P07024 %P P07024 - 55pp
