ii. Category DW11, Radon in Drinking Water; and

iii. Category DW13, Drinking Water - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

2. Non-Potable Matrix:
i. Category NPW13, Radiochemistry - Radioactivity & Radionuclides;

ii. Category NPW14, Radon in Non-Potable Water; and

iii. Category NPW16, NPW- Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

3. Air and Emissions Matrix:
i. Category AE05, Radionuclides Analysis;

ii. Category AE06, Air - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

iii. Category AE08, Radon in Air; and

iv. Category AE09, Radon in Air - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods; and

4. Solid and Chemical Materials Matrix:
i. Category SCM12, Radiochemistry - Radioactivity and Radionuclides; and

ii. Category SCM14 - SCM Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods.

(b) In addition to satisfying the applicable requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:18-1 through 3, a laboratory performing radiochemical testing within the scope of (a) above shall follow:
