The purpose of this criteria is to provide requirements for the operation of testing laboratories and the qualifying data that must be submitted for accreditation of laboratories by ICBO ES.

Annex A addresses the conditional recognition of data and requirements for nonaccredited laboratories submitting data for proponents of ICBO ES evaluation reports.

Proponents who submit test reports generated in the facilities of a nonaccredited laboratory are responsible for submitting data that demonstrates compliance with Annex A of this criteria for each laboratory where the tests are conducted, together with the appropriate fees outlined in the ICBO ES fee schedule.
