LAC 33:I.5501. Unacceptable Samples

A. When a sample is received by the testing laboratory and it is apparent or suspected that the sample protocol has not been followed, the laboratory should have a written procedure for handling of the questionable sample. The laboratory may choose to notify the customer and either request another sample or, if the customer insists upon analysis of the sample, reserve the right to include a disclaimer in the final report identifying the sample anomaly. This disclaimer must be permanently attached to the final report.
