Universal Citation: 1 VA Admin Code 30-46-60
Current through Register Vol. 41, No. 3, September 23, 2024
A. Components of accreditation. The components of accreditation include review of personnel qualifications, on-site assessment, proficiency testing and quality assurance and quality control standards. The criteria for these components, specified in Part II (1VAC30-46-200 et seq.) of this chapter, shall be fulfilled for accreditation.
B. Individual laboratory sites and mobile laboratories.
1. Individual laboratory sites
are subject to the same application process, assessments, and other
requirements as environmental laboratories. Any remote laboratory sites are
considered separate sites and subject to separate on-site
assessments.
2. Laboratories
located at the same physical location shall be considered an individual
laboratory site if these laboratories are owned by the same person, and have
the same technical manager and quality system.
3. A mobile laboratory, which is configured
with equipment to perform environmental analyses, whether associated with a
fixed-based laboratory or not, is considered an environmental laboratory and
shall require separate accreditation. This accreditation shall remain with the
mobile laboratory and be site independent. Moving the configured mobile
laboratory to a different site shall not require a new or separate
accreditation. Before performing analyses at each new site, the laboratory
shall ensure that instruments and equipment have been checked for performance
and have been calibrated.
