Update on Laboratory Assessments

Aug 16, 2021

In our July communication regarding on-site assessments, we announced the decision to postpone the return to on-site assessments.  At this time, we will continue to conduct remote assessments until further notice.  When a new target date for return to on-site assessments has been determined, we will inform customers via email, our website, and social media.  We will send another update to customers no later than October 3, 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have done our best to answer some of your questions below.  If you cannot find an answer to your question, please send us your question through this online form

  • My laboratory is already scheduled for a remote assessment. Can I just wait and have an on-site assessment instead?
    No.  We will be conducting all assessments remotely until further notice.  Postponing or cancelling your assessment may result in revocation of your accreditation and cancellation fees.
  • My laboratory had a remote assessment for initial accreditation.   I know I need to have an abbreviated on-site assessment.  What do I need to do?
    AASHTO re:source staff will email you approximately two months prior to your on-site assessment to let you know that it is time to submit a request.  You do not need to do anything until we contact you.
  • I already submitted my laboratory’s assessment request, but the assessment has not been scheduled yet. Is there anything that I need to do?
    No.  You will receive an email from us 4-6 weeks before the start date of your assessment.  You can review our schedule to get a better idea of when we will be visiting your area, or you can contact us at lap@aashtoresource.org.
