(1) The ecology
accrediting authority may grant provisional accreditation to laboratories which
can consistently produce valid analytical data but have deficiencies requiring
corrective action. When the laboratory has corrected such deficiencies, it must
provide evidence of correction to the lab accreditation unit, or request a
follow-up audit, as appropriate. If the lab accreditation unit determines the
deficiencies have been corrected, the ecology accrediting authority awards full
accreditation as in WAC
173-50-090.
(2) The ecology accrediting authority may
renew a provisional accreditation for a subsequent accreditation period if
laboratory management has demonstrated that all reasonable measures to correct
deficiencies have been exhausted.
(3) For drinking water laboratories, specific
conditions warranting provisional accreditation and specific actions required
of the laboratory when provisional accreditation is granted are found in the
drinking water certification manual.
