Notes

1. If requesting the addition of an analyte, submit required documents as outlined in A06 – CALA Accreditation Program, Policies and Procedures and P02-03-PT Requirements for Accreditation.
2. Please note that method changes can only be made where the method is being clarified but the process remains the same.  If the method is changing completely (i.e., GC/MS to IC) then the parameter must be removed and a new one added.
