Accreditation Requirements
Accreditation of milk laboratory analysts seeking or maintaining certification at an accredited laboratory facility, must meet the following requirements:
- The laboratory facilities meet the requirements of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products, the current revision of the Evaluation of Milk Laboratories (EML), and requirements stated on the official milk laboratory forms (FD-2400) as determined by an on-site evaluation;
- All official testing required by the Grade “A” Pasteurized Milk Ordinance performed by certified analyst(s); and
- The laboratories’ analyst(s) meet the performance levels of the split sample proficiency testing program.
Adherence to the accreditation requirements will be assessed on-site by a state Laboratory Evaluation Officer. The Laboratory will be evaluated prior to initial accreditation and every two years at a minimum thereafter.
The FDA laboratory accreditation and endorsement of sample collection surveillance procedures provides a national base for the uniform collection and examination of milk, in compliance with the sanitation standards of the Grade “A” Pasteurized Milk Ordinance.
