Laboratory Decertification
A Quality Control or Quality Assurance Laboratory may have its entire certification or its
certification for specific test methods revoked by ODOT if it is found to not conform to the
specifications and standards of its ODOT certification. A laboratory that has had its certification
revoked for a specific test method(s) may not test materials that require the use of such revoked
test certification(s). A laboratory that has had its entire certification revoked shall promptly
cease testing materials for ODOT construction projects.
A laboratory that has had its certification partially or entirely revoked may seek reinstatement by
demonstrating conformance to the ODOT Laboratory Inspection criteria (See appendix A).
In addition, any laboratory/company intentionally misrepresenting the status of their certification
or falsifying test results will be subject to disciplinary action up to a one-year suspension of their
certification. Any allegation regarding the practices of a certified laboratory will be made in
writing to the Certification Advisory Committee. The Certification Advisory Committee will
investigate the complaint and take appropriate disciplinary action. In all cases, the parties
involved in the complaint will be provided an opportunity to appear before the committee before
any actions are taken.
