Standards Interpretation
TNI has established an avenue for resolution of questions submitted electronically on interpretation of the 2003 NELAC Standard. The method for submittal is to complete the form below. Use of this entry form ensures that a question is automatically accepted, cataloged and emailed to the NELAP Board Chair, the LASC Chair and the TNI Program Administrator for review. A consensus of these three individuals shall determine who oversees the final disposition of the question. Timelines are defined for the NELAP Board Chair and LASC Chair to ensure a timely response to the question. Publication of the consensus resolution is then made to the affected parties via email and on the TNI web site. Please remember that any disputes between a laboratory and their AB regarding accreditation are to be handled through the appropriate appeals process established by applicable state laws and regulations. Your question should be clearly stated.
Please use this form to submit a request for standard interpretation to TNI.
