Course Abstract
The New TNI Laboratory Accreditation Standards
The National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program has adopted for use within the program four new accreditation standards:
- Management and Technical Requirements for Laboratories Performing Environmental Analysis
- General Requirements for Accreditation Bodies Accrediting Environmental Laboratories
- General Requirements for Environmental Proficiency Test Providers
- General Requirements for an Accreditor of Environmental Proficiency Test Providers
The new standards will replace the 2003 NELAC standard and will be implemented in 2011. All NELAP-accredited laboratories will need to comply with the new requirements by July 1, 2011. This workshop will review in detail the standard applicable to laboratories, briefly review the other three standards, and present the plan for implementation.
