Customers may elect not to seek accreditation in all disciplines or categories of
testing Laboratories seeking ASCLD/LAB-International accreditation or seeking to
renew accreditation may elect not to include an area of testing on the application.
However, once an area is included on the application for accreditation, ASCLD/
LAB will issue an ‘as found’ summary in the assessment report for any area
withdrawn by the laboratory during the assessment process. Laboratories must
continue to be careful not to claim or infer accreditation in any area for which
accreditation is not granted.
