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. Once complete, you press "Generate Request Form" –
an Excel spreadsheet link will generate at the bottom of the screen. Open it, check your
information and if correct, email it to the address shown. 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 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.
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. Now it is time to select the test methods for which you need
validation. Once complete, generate your form and email to the MTC. 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, press
"Generate Request Form" – an Excel spreadsheet link will generate at the bottom of the screen.
Open it, check your information and if correct, email it to the address shown. 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 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.
