Adding DOECAP-AP Accreditation to a DoD ELAP Accredited Laboratory

Did you know that almost one-half of the DOE Consolidated Audit Program - Accreditation Program (DOECAP-AP) laboratories perform routine and project specific non-radiological analysis? There are opportunities for non-radiochemistry laboratories to support projects involving routine compliance monitoring, site characterization, process control testing, and remediation for various environmental matrices for the DOE. It is also anticipated PFAS analysis will exceed current non-radiological laboratory capacity in the near future. This webinar will review the anticipated differences between DOECAP-AP and DoD ELAP to the combined DoD/DOE Quality Systems Manual (QSM 6.0). The transition is not as difficult as it seems! We will identify less than twenty clauses of the QSM requiring laboratory consider or update. Our review will give laboratories the necessary Information to evaluate the opportunities to seek accreditation for DOECAP-AP for either the entire, or partial scope of DoD-ELAP accreditation in order to provide non-radiological analysis to the DOE.
