Laboratory Decertification
If the follow up on-site inspection reveals that the laboratory is deficient in one or more areas,
the laboratory inspector will immediately decertify the laboratory for those test methods affected
by the deficient equipment or facilities. The laboratory inspector will recertify the laboratory
following correction of all deficiencies. A laboratory may not perform materials tests using test
methods for which it has been decertified.
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 allegations 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 decide on 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.
