NOTE TO TESTING LABORATORIES: If you are a testing laboratory, please complete pages two and three as
best as possible. The areas and parameters listed on pages two and three are to be used as a guide to complete the
draft scope of accreditation table. These details will assist us in providing an estimate for accreditation. If you
already have a completed scope you may attach it to this document in lieu of completing pages two and three. If you
have any questions please contact Roger Muse at 877-344-3044 x-202 or email at rmuse@anab-aclass.org
NOTE TO CALIBRATION LABORATORIES: If you are a calibration laboratory, please complete pages three and
four as best as possible. The areas and parameters listed on pages three and four are to be used as a guide to
