Environmental Laboratory Approval Program
Certification Manual
Please find a listing of the updated Environmental Laboratory Approval Program Certification Manual (available as Adobe pdf format).
Throughout several items, you will find changes that are identified by red, bold-faced font. Please refer to item 100 (Table of Contents) to view the latest updates to each manual item.
In response to changes in environmental regulations, we update our Field of Accreditation (FOA) offerings in the Drinking Water, Non-Potable Water, and Solid and Chemical Materials, and Air and Emissions category on a routine basis. These are found in items 180.1, 180.2, 180.3, and 180.4.
You will also find our scope of proficiency testing (PT). These are included in items 311, 312, 313, 314, and 315. It is our aim to provide all PT analytes that are required under the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).
Another file that you will find listed is our amended regulation (NYCRR 55-2), which became effective on June 16, 2010.
If you have trouble opening any of the files, or have questions in regards to the Certification Manual, please contact the program office at (518) 485-5570 or by E-mail ELAP@health.state.ny.us.
