Re:              On-Site assessment of the Lawrence Municipal Laboratory

 

 

On July 25 and 26, 2006, on-site assessments were conducted at the two water treatment plants and the wastewater treatment facility  by a Laboratory Improvement Specialist from KDHE.   

 

The purpose of the site visits was to evaluate the quality of analyses performed by the Quality Control staff for certification under the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference standards (NELAC) and state regulations.  The survey included an inspection of the quality assurance manuals, quality control procedures, facility, data review and record keeping. 

 

The Auditor’s conclusion was that the analytical data produced at all laboratories is deemed acceptable by KDHE and that staff has been successful in maintaining the national laboratory accreditation per the NELAC regulations.
