CENTRAL MATERIALS LABORATORY
ON-SITE LABORATORY INSPECTION CRITERIA
FOR QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE LABORATORIES
A laboratory desiring information and/or an application package for ODOT laboratory
certification may contact the ODOT Central Laboratory at the following address:
Oregon Department of Transportation
Construction Section, Materials Laboratory
Attn: Lab Certification Coordinator
800 Airport Road SE
Salem, OR 97310-4798
Telephone (503) 986-3087
Laboratories requesting ODOT certification shall make arrangements to receive an on-site
inspection. Forms will be included in the application package to facilitate the laboratory’s
response to this requirement.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the requesting laboratory to have their lab clean,
organized and in complete operating order at the time of inspection. All equipment must be
readily available and accessible. The ODOT Laboratory Certification Team does not
search for stowed equipment. In addition an authorized representative must be present at
the time of inspection to answer questions or respond to identify and present equipment.
Failure to meet this criterion or to find unorganized, unkempt facilities may result in a
canceled inspection.
On-Site Inspection
The Lab Certification Inspector will visit each laboratory whose application for certification has
been accepted. The laboratory inspector will evaluate the laboratory using criteria A through H
listed below. A discussion of the criteria follows:
A. Requirement: The laboratory shall maintain facilities (fixed or mobile) for proper
control of the laboratory environment.
This criterion is used to evaluate the
laboratory’s physical ability to provide an appropriate environment in which to test
materials. General requirements include: the facility shall be physically able to function
as a laboratory (e.g. adequate power, water, lighting, floor space etc.) and have the
capability of maintaining temperatures that are specified in the test methods for which the
laboratory is seeking certification.
