Section 2.2-1105 of the Code of Virginia directs the
					 Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services to establish a program to certify
					 environmental laboratories that perform tests, analyses, measurements or
					 monitoring required pursuant to the Commonwealth's air, waste and water laws
					 and regulations. This chapter sets out the required standards and the process
					 by which owners of noncommercial environmental laboratories may obtain
					 certification for their laboratories.
Statutory Authority: § 2.2-1105 of the Code of
						Virginia.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 1 - ADMINISTRATION › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES › Chapter 45 - CERTIFICATION FOR NONCOMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORIES › Part I - General Provisions › Section 1VAC30-45-20 - Establishment of certification program

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Once the certification program has been
				  established, laboratory certification shall be required before any
				  environmental analyses performed by a noncommercial environmental laboratory
				  may be used for the purposes of the Virginia Air Pollution Control Law, the
				  Virginia Waste Management Act or the State Water Control Law (§ 10.1-1300 et
				  seq., § 10.1-1400 et seq., and § 62.1-44.2 et seq., respectively of the Code of
				  Virginia).
B. The certification
				  program shall be established on January 1, 2012.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. This chapter
				  applies to any owner of a noncommercial environmental laboratory.
B. Any environmental laboratory owned by an
				  agency of the federal government may be certified as follows:
1. By DCLS to the standards set out in this
				  chapter; or
2. By a federal primary
				  accreditation body to the standards established by TNI.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 1 - ADMINISTRATION › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES › Chapter 45 - CERTIFICATION FOR NONCOMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORIES › Part I - General Provisions › Section 1VAC30-45-50 - Scope of certification

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				  Noncommercial environmental laboratories shall be certified based on the
				  general laboratory standards set out in Part II (1VAC30-45-200 et seq.) of this
				  chapter and on the specific test methods or analysis, monitoring or measurement
				  required by regulatory permit or other requirement under the Virginia Air
				  Pollution Control Law, Virginia Waste Management Act, or Virginia Water Control
				  Law, the regulations promulgated under these laws, and by permits and orders
				  issued under and in accordance with these laws or regulations.
B. DCLS shall review alternative test methods
				  and procedures for certification when these are proposed by the applicant
				  laboratory. The provisions of
				  1VAC30-45-70 E and
				  1VAC30-45-90 B govern alternative
				  test methods and procedures.
C.
				  Certification shall be granted for one or more fields of certification,
				  including the matrix, the technology and methods , and the individual analytes
				  determined by the particular method used by the laboratory.
Statutory Authority: § 2.2-1105 of the Code of
						Virginia.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 1 - ADMINISTRATION › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES › Chapter 45 - CERTIFICATION FOR NONCOMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORIES › Part I - General Provisions › Section 1VAC30-45-60 - General: certification requirements

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Components of certification. The
				  components of certification include review of personnel qualifications, on-site
				  assessment, proficiency testing, and quality systems. The criteria for these
				  components, set out in Part II (1VAC30-45-200 et seq.)
				  of this chapter, shall be fulfilled for certification.
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 laboratory manager and quality system.
3. A mobile laboratory, which is configured
				  with equipment to perform analyses, whether associated with a fixed-based
				  laboratory or not, is considered an environmental laboratory and shall require
				  separate certification. This certification shall remain with the mobile
				  laboratory and be site independent. Moving the configured mobile laboratory to
				  a different site will not require a new or separate certification. Before
				  performing analyses at each new site, the laboratory shall ensure that
				  instruments and equipment have been checked for performance and have been
				  calibrated.
