Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:18-2.7

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) Each certified environmental laboratory and each laboratory holding temporary approval shall follow the following procedure to renew its certification every certification year:

1. The laboratory shall obtain a renewal application form from the Department.

2. The laboratory shall review the information provided by the Department on the renewal application form. On the form, the laboratory shall correct any inaccurate or incomplete information, advise the Department of any changes in personnel or equipment, and indicate any desired modifications.

3. The laboratory shall submit the renewal application to the Department at the address listed in 7:18-1.6(a). When submitting the renewal application, the laboratory shall include the renewal application form provided by the Department, the fees required under 7:18-2.9, and the certification required under 7:18-1.9.

4. The laboratory shall submit the renewal application with the required fees by March 31 of each year. However, if the Department has not made the renewal application forms available by March 1, the deadline for submitting the renewal application shall be extended by one day for each day beyond March 1 that the forms are unavailable. For example, if the Department does not make the forms available until March 15, the deadline for submitting the renewal application shall be April 14.

5. A laboratory may submit a late renewal application after the deadline established under (a)4 above. However, if a late renewal application is submitted, the renewal may not be completed before the June 30 expiration date of the certification or temporary approval.

(b) If a laboratory's certification or temporary approval is not renewed before its expiration date, the certification or temporary approval and the Annual Certified Parameter List (if any) shall expire. If a laboratory's certification, temporary approval or ACPL expires, any analysis performed by that laboratory does not establish compliance with any regulatory program.

(c) A laboratory shall not submit a renewal application after the June 30 expiration date. If a laboratory fails to submit a renewal application before the expiration date, the laboratory's certification, temporary approval and ACPL (if any) shall expire. Any environmental laboratory allowing its certification to expire shall apply for a new certification by filing an initial application in accordance with 7:18-2.5.
