Renewal of Certificate

Filing. At least 45 calendar days prior to the expiration date noted on its certificate, a certified or provisionally certified laboratory must file an application for renewal of certification on forms provided by the Department. Timely filing of the application for renewal causes the certification to continue until the Department issues a final written decision regarding the laboratory's certification status. A laboratory that fails to file an application for renewal by the expiration date of the certification loses its certification, may not file an application for renewal, and must submit a new application for certification, including payment of the application fee, if it wishes to secure a new certification.
