Testing Policies

Turnaround Time (TAT): Same day, 1-day, 2-day, 3-day and 5-day turn-around times are available for most analyses. Standard turn around time on most analyses is 5 business days with weekend analysis available upon advanced notification at NO additional charge. A 2-hr TAT is available for some analyses. Examples of rate increases for faster TATs are as follows:

Priority 1-Day : 100% additional charge

Priority 2-Day : 75% additional charge

Reports are available online or transmitted via fax, email, electronic deliverable (EDD)

The Full TCLP test and certain metals profiles by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption have a standard 10 day TAT but may be completed sooner. Any samples received after 3 PM ET are entered into the data entry system as if they were received on the next day business day. All results are reported by the end of the business day which is 6:00 pm.

Weekends: Schneider Laboratories Global offers same day turn-around on Saturday and Sunday testing (except TEMS and send-out/referral tests). Advance notice of sample arrival and are required by Friday at 3 PM ET in order to receive Saturday and Sunday results. Rush turn-around-time requests remain the same for weekends and weekdays. Turnaround time on send-out/referral tests is based on the customer needs. Call your Project Manager to get available turnaround times.

Chain of Custody (COC): Chain of custody forms are provided at no additional charge and are also available online at http://www.slabinc.com/content/resources/. Chain of custody forms should be legible and complete. Include the following information when submitting samples to the laboratory. SLGI will pre-print your COC upon request at no charge.

1. Customer name and address (if not using pre-printed form) 2. Telephone number and fax number 3. Project name/number 4. Date, time and state of sample collection 5. Certification Requirements 6. Number and types of samples 7. Type of analysis requested on each sample 8. Sample identification, including time, flow rates, volumes and areas 9. Purchase order information 10. Signature of person submitting samples 11. Sample identification numbers must be clearly marked on each sample submitted

and are necessary for cross-referencing and sample tracking throughout the laboratory. The number chosen to identify your samples should also be written on the chain of custody form submitted with the samples.

12. Indicate any special instructions

Providing this information will help eliminate delays.

http://www.slabinc.com/content/resources/

Duplicates: Enough sample quantity must be sent to the laboratory so that the laboratory can perform a duplicate sample analysis for solid and water matrices. If enough sample is received the laboratory will also perform a sample spike analysis. Blanks: Blanks act as a control for analysis by accounting for contamination that can occur during handling, storage, or shipment of samples. A field blank is opened and handled in the same manner as a sample, except in the case of industrial hygiene samples no air should be drawn. Since blanks are analyzed as any other sample in the laboratory, they are priced the same as the analysis requested. Sample Collection Media: A nominal fee will be charged for collection media. Sampling media are routinely shipped by ground delivery FedEx. If air express shipping is requested, the customer will be billed for this service. Billing: Invoicing is by sample group and payment is net 30 days. International customers are prepaid by credit card only. A line of credit can be established upon review of a customer’s credit application. Credit Cards: For your convenience, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted. Warranty: All sample results are strictly confidential and will not be released to anyone other than the sample submitter without the permission of the customer. Schneider Laboratories Global cannot be responsible for loss of samples, and reserves the right to refuse samples that are not collected on the appropriate sampling medium. Schneider Laboratories Global will employ qualified personnel to analyze samples and, where possible, will use established and recognized analytical testing procedures. Schneider Laboratories Global makes no other warranties expressed or implied. QA/QC Data Packages: For your convenience the laboratory is able to supply the necessary QC package as listed below. The customer has the responsibility to notify the laboratory about the desired QC package prior to or at the time of sample receipt. Level 2 Data Package – additional 25% of the invoice total Basic QC Data:

LCS, LCSD, MS, MSD, DUP and MB

Level 3 Data Package – additional 50% of the invoice total

Calibration Data plus Basic QC data: LCS, LCSD, MS, MSD, MB, RB, ICV, CCV, CCB, Internal Standard and Retention Time Summary

To Whom It May Concern,

This is to inform you about Schneider Laboratories Global sample disposal policy. The bottom right hand

side of our COC has a box in which the sender can choose how they want the laboratory to dispose of their

samples. If this box is not checked then the laboratory will dispose of the samples within the appropriate

time frame.

The Sample Disposal box shown above also has a statement which says that a fee of $50 will be charged

for samples with an excessive weight. This is due to the high cost of disposing hazardous waste.

This process bases an excessive weight on the actual amount of sample needed for the analysis. This

disposal fee affects the analysis of soils, paints and bulk samples.

Test Excessive Amount

TCLP > 150 grams or 1/4 pound

Metals except Chromium VI > 5 grams (1/8 cup or 2 Tbsp.)

Chromium VI > 10 grams (1/4 cup or 4 Tbsp.)

Bulk Asbestos > small ziplock bag (Fits in hand)

Vermiculite (float method) > quart size ziplock bag

We thank you for understanding the need for this process. Lowering our hazardous waste disposal costs

will ensure we can keep offering the lowest prices. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not

hesitate to contact us.

Please sign and return the form,

What we have to offer you is sure to satisfy any need you have to identify dangerous contaminants polluting the environments that surround you. The analytical cost is included in the cost of the kit so there are no hidden laboratory fees.
