We offer one-stop-shopping for manuals and procedures for accredited laboratories. Our goal is for labs to have access to the most current quality-control tools and to receive rule updates to help Washington's labs maintain high-quality analyses.
Gain access to procedural guides, refer to the Laboratory Accreditation rule, look up analytical methods and method codes, and learn about proficiency testing and sample providers for environmental laboratories.
