Abstract

An increasing number of water‐testing laboratories are seeking National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) certification. Those seeking this type of accreditation must ensure implementation of all of the NELAC quality‐assurance policies, procedures, and methods specified by NELAC for quality systems. Weekly use of biological indicators to check the efficacy of the laboratories' steam autoclaves and dry heat ovens is one requirement for meeting NELAC certification of equipment. Because many laboratories have never done this procedure before, many questions are surfacing. This article provides information that is intended to help answer many of these questions.
