WHAT IS DELAYED ACCREDITATION?

After the review of a laboratory's accreditation application, the Board of Directors renders an accreditation decision. One of four decisions will be made: granted, delayed, site-visit, or denied. A delayed decision means that there are significant issues, deficiencies or lack of adherence to the ICAMRL Standards that must be addressed by the laboratory before it can be granted ICAMRL accreditation.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO AVOID DELAY

There are several steps that laboratories can take to increase the likelihood that accreditation is attained without any delay.

• Verify that your laboratory is adhering to the current edition of the ICAMRL Standards. Dates of revision are listed in the footer of every page. Verify that the date on your materials corresponds to those on the web, or contact our office to make sure you are using the correct edition.
  
  
• Be certain that all case studies document your laboratory's adherence to The Standards.
