If a PT sample is not given for a particular analyte
				for which a laboratory is requesting accreditation, accreditation for the
				analyte may be obtained by qualifying for accreditation for the entire category
				in which the analyte is found. To be eligible for accreditation in the entire
				category, the laboratory shall pass seventy-five percent (75%) of all PT
				available analytes within the category. If a laboratory completely fails an
				individual analyte and still receives a 75% passing rate, the laboratory will
				not be granted accreditation for that particular analyte but will be accredited
				for the rest of the category.
