intains an objective and impartial review of related facts. Review process milestone dates should be provided (e.g., the affected individual has 10 days to request a review and 14 days to provide new, pertinent, and factual information). Acceptability of an applicant’s review process would be evident if the applicant proposed to use an impartial and objective review such as referring the matter to an individual who has no knowledge of the subject individual and his/her area of work, and who is external to the individual’s chain-of-command. Another example of impartiality would be a review by an individual, external to the subject individual’s chain-of-command, at a higher level than the level of the initial decision-maker in the process within the subject individual’s chain-of-command.

The reviewer shall ensure the applicant describes, in general, its inspection audit program for its HHS-certified laboratories and other C/Vs providing 10 CFR Part 26 services.

If an applicant proposes to utilize joint audits, or accept audits of C/Vs conducted by others, the applicant should describe this process and how it would ensure the effectiveness of the C/Vs' services.
