About Wisconsin's Certification Program
The Department of Natural Resources certifies and registers laboratories to perform soil, water and waste testing for many of the agency's environmental programs. Certified and registered laboratories must meet all the criteria outlined in Ch. NR 149, Wis. Adm. Code. Certification, registration or acceptance of a laboratory by the State of Wisconsin is not a guarantee of the quality of data generated by that laboratory. Instead, the certification and registration program insures that laboratories have the appropriate systems in place to generate reliable data. For more information about the program, see the Program Overview.
Recognition of Other Certification Programs
The Department is not a National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) Accrediting Authority and does not recognize NELAP accreditation issued by other state or federal agencies in lieu of certification under Ch. NR 149, Wis. Adm. Code.
The DNR maintains reciprocity agreements with several other states for specific regulatory programs.
