Section 16.02.13.110 - ON-SITE EVALUATION
01.On-Site Audits and Evaluations. COs will perform audits of the premises and operations of new laboratories or laboratories requesting continuing certification for the purpose of determining if there is enough security to maintain the integrity of the samples and data. The frequency of the on-site evaluation is at the discretion of the CA or a minimum of every three (3) years. In addition, the CO will evaluate the:
a. Physical set up of the laboratory;
b. Quality assurance program;
c. Personnel qualifications;
d. Equipment considerations; and
e. Adequacy of data handling.
02.Written Report of Findings from the On-Site Evaluation. The CO will generate a written report of findings from the on-site evaluation. The report will detail areas requiring a written response and specify the length of time the laboratory has to respond. The length of time for the laboratory to respond will be proportional the number and severity of deviations. If the conditions observed during an on-site evaluation are such that an immediate down grade or decertification is warranted the laboratory will be notified by certified mail within thirty (30) days by the CA.
