Submitters are required to provide this information o n new substitutes to assist the Agency in assessing the acceptability of chemicals or processes that are considered alternatives for ODSs. A separate notice must be filed for each alternative you are submitting. All submissions must be provided in three complete copies. If information is to be claimed as confidential, all confidential information must be excised from one of the copies, which will be placed in the public docket; the other two copies must include the confidential material. If no claims of confidentiality are made for the submission, all copies must be identical. The attached “Guidance Manual for the SNAP Information Notice” is designed to assist applicants in completing this form. The manual provides instructions on submitting a SNAP not ice, asserting confidentiality claims, completing the notice form, sector - specific data requirements, and submitting test data and supplemental information. To facilitate Agency review of alternatives, this form must be filled out as completely as possibl e. Please provide all information requested to the extent that it is known or reasonably ascertainable. Make reasonable estimates if actual data is unavailable.

# United Kingdom Accreditation Service ILAC - the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation - is an international cooperation of laboratory and inspection accreditation bodies formed more than 30 years ago to help remove technical barriers to trade. Accreditation allows people to make an informed decision when selecting a laboratory, as it demonstrates competence, impartiality and capability. It helps to underpin the credibility and performance of goods and services. Accreditation bodies around the world, which have been evaluated by peers as competent, have signed an arrangement that enhances the acceptance of products and services across national borders. The purpose of this arrangement, the ILAC Arra ngement, is to create an international framework to support international trade through the removal of technical barriers. ILAC counts as its member’s laboratory and inspection accreditation bodies representing more than 70 economies and regional organiza tions. The ultimate aim of the ILAC Arrangement is the increased use and acceptance by industry as well as regulators of the results from accredited laboratories and inspection bodies, including results from laboratories in other countries. In this way, t he free -trade goal of 'product tested once and accepted everywhere' can be realized. ILAC provides a focus for:

 

## Developing and harmonizing laboratory and inspection accreditation practices  

## Promoting laboratory and inspection accreditation to industry, g overnments, regulators and consumers  

## Assisting and supporting developing accreditation systems  

## Global recognition of laboratories and inspection facilities via the ILAC Arrangement, thus facilitating acceptance of test, inspection and calibration data acco mpanying goods across national borders The following are US signatory members to ILAC: 1.) American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) 

## 2.) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP 

## 3.) International Accreditation Service, Inc (IAS) 

## 4.) ANSI -ASQ National Accreditation Board 

## 5.) Laboratory Accreditation Bureau (L-A- B) 

## 6.) Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA)
