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.
