Section 7:18-2.8 - Procedure for modification of certification status by the addition or deletion of parameters, categories and/or combined categories
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) A certified environmental laboratory seeking to modify its certification, or a laboratory seeking to modify its application for certification under 7:18-2.5, shall submit an application to the Department at the address specified in 7:18-2.5(a). In the application, the laboratory shall include the following:
(b) Before approving the modification, the Department may require proficiency testing pursuant to 7:18-2.13 and/or an on-site audit pursuant to 7:18-2.14. The Department shall base its decision to require proficiency testing and/or an on-site audit upon the degree of competence and compliance with this chapter that the environmental laboratory has demonstrated through previous proficiency testing and on-site audits.
(c) The Department shall approve the modification only if the laboratory satisfies all of the requirements under 7:18-2.6(a) that are applicable to the modification.
(d) Subsections (a) through (c) above do not apply to a modification to delete one or more parameters or categories from a laboratory's certification. No payment of a fee or Department approval is required to delete a parameter or category. To delete one or more parameters or categories, the laboratory shall send written notification to the Department at the address specified in 7:18-1.6(a), by certified mail or other means that provides a receipt for delivery; provided however, that the laboratory may instead provide this written notification as part of a renewal application under 7:18-2.7. The deletion shall be effective upon the Department's receipt of the notice.
