(a)Annual renewal required. A laboratory must timely submit an application for renewal each year, or its accreditation will expire on August 31.

(d)Deadline. All applicable fees shall be submitted to the DEQ by 4:30 p.m. on or before June 15 or postmarked on or before that date. Any renewal application which is not received electronically by the DEQ on or before June 15 shall be considered only if the electronic application form, renewal fee and a late fee are submitted on or before July 15. Applications and fees received or postmarked after July 15 will be returned and accreditation shall not be renewed.

(e)PT provider. Laboratories shall ensure that the PT provider has submitted all pertinent PT reports to the DEQ electronically or postmarked on or before July 15 of each year. PTs received later than July 15 will not be considered for accreditation renewal.

(f)Specified dates. If any date specified in this section falls on a weekend or holiday, the date of the following working day shall be the effective date.

(g)Failure to renew. To become accredited again, a laboratory that failed to renew its accreditation in a timely manner must apply for initial accreditation as a new laboratory.
