Self-Attestations
The Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) has developed this document to help you ensure that you are in compliance with the laws and regulations governing your laboratory.
New Laboratory Applicants: You are encouraged to complete this self-assessment prior to your scheduled initial inspection to ensure you are ready for your inspection to avoid delays in the issuance of your license.
Existing Laboratories: You are encouraged to complete this self-assessment on a yearly basis to ensure you maintain compliance with the laws and regulations governing your laboratory. This will assist you in being prepared the next time an inspector conducts an unannounced periodic inspection of your laboratory.
