To request a laboratory validation, you must first go to "Lab Validation +" at the top of the
page and select "Request a Validation" from the dropdown menu. Once on this page, you have
three options.
Register a lab not previously validated (new lab): Option 1 is to register a lab that has
not been previously validated (a new lab). This link will take you to a fillable page – all
items are required except the fax number. Attached any files if needed in the attachments box.
Once complete, you must check the “I’m not a robot” box and then press “Submit Request Form” .
You have now "registered" your lab in our system. Once the lab is entered in the system, you will
receive an automated email directing you to pick the test methods you want to be validated to perform.
Once this second form is completed, a Testing Services Agreement (TSA) will be generated and sent to
you from the MTC for execution and payment. This validation request is complete and the onsite
inspection, submittal of data for review, or other will follow.
Revalidate a currently or previously validated lab (existing lab) or add additional methods to
an existing validated lab: Option 2, to revalidate a current or previously validated lab
(existing lab) takes you to a different form. You must find your lab in our database files using
the drop-down window on the lab box. Once you find your lab and click on it, all the information
the MTC has will populate the form – all items are required except the fax number. Check this data
and make any corrections needed. Attached any files if needed in the attachments box. Now it is
time to select the test methods for which you need validation. Once complete, you must check the
“I’m not a robot” box and then press Submit Request Form. If you have chosen methods that require
ACI certification, the next page will display data block to fill out for the two technicians you
have on staff that hold the required certifications. After filling in the data and loading the
scans of the ACI certificates required, press Submit. This validation request is complete and
the onsite inspection, submittal of data for review, or other will follow.
Register a satellite lab of a validated lab: Option 3 is to register a new satellite lab
(working under a parent lab that is already validated with the USACE). All items are required
except the fax number. Provide a validated parent lab and its information. Once complete,
attached any files if needed in the attachments box, you must check the “I’m not a robot” box,
and then press Submit Request Form. You have now "registered" your satellite lab in our system.
Once the satellite lab is entered in the system, you will receive an automated email directing
you to pick the test methods you want the satellite lab to be validated to perform. Once complete,
you must check the “I’m not a robot” box and then press Submit Request Form. If you have chosen
methods that require ACI certification, the next page will display data block to fill out for
the two technicians you have on staff that hold the required certifications. After filling in
the data and loading the scans of the ACI certificates required, press Submit. Once this second
form is emailed to the MTC, a Testing Services Agreement (TSA) will be generated and sent to
you from the MTC for execution and payment. This validation request is complete and the onsite
inspection, submittal of data for review, or other will follow.
