About Sample Testing
Participation in these programs is required on an annual basis for CMEC Accredited Laboratories. Test reports from laboratories for each specimen group, are comparatively analyzed by CMEC through the use of statistical programs. The analysis report indicates individual test results, as well as comparative reference testing results. These results are presented on a blind identity basis. Certain programs are also available on a nationwide basis for laboratories participating in other accreditation programs. Go to the CMEC Accreditation Department for more information.
