Group Accreditation
As per the A143 – CALA Policy on Group Accreditation, network laboratories operating from more than one location and operating under a single management system may qualify for CALA group accreditation. Each laboratory with the group will be assigned a unique member number and Individual scopes of accreditation are issued to each member of the group. The scope of accreditation of each location will contain references to the location being part of a group accreditation and will list all the other locations that are part of the Group.

For more information, please download A143.

***Multisite Laboratory
This laboratory operates from more than one location within a city or region, however, is considered one accreditable unit.  This scope of accreditation includes testing carried out at the following additional locations identified in the scope above.  Where the appendix does not list a location, testing is carried out in the main laboratory.

† “OSDWA” indicates the appendix is used for the analysis of Ontario drinking water samples, which is subject to the rules and related regulations under the Ontario “Safe Drinking Water Act” (2002).

The list of tests and measurement capabilities for which a laboratory is accredited can change at any time due to circumstances such as scope extensions, voluntary withdrawal of tests by the laboratory and suspension. Scopes are published by the CALA via the Internet at https://directory.cala.ca/
