Small Laboratory TNI Standard Implementation Series
Part 1 – You Can Do It!

A small laboratory can meet the TNI Environmental Laboratory requirements without hiring a full-time consultant. Working in the laboratory is more than just following the method. The laboratory staff knows how to manage the work, but does not always think about what is involved in performing the method. The TNI Standard provides one place to find the requirements and think about how to manage the work. Whether required or not, the Standard is developed by laboratory personnel. These are not requirements developed and interpreted by solely government personnel. This is a consensus process to develop requirements for not only laboratories, but also for assessors and accreditation bodies.

About the Small Laboratory TNI Standard Implementation Series
The NELAC Institute, in cooperation with Advanced Systems, Inc., provided a series of (10) 2-hour webcasts that show how to implement the Standard. All size laboratories can implement the 2009/2016 TNI Environmental Laboratory Standard. The key is understanding the Standard and documenting what you do in your everyday work.

Running a laboratory is more than just performing the method. There are other operations that require management such as buying supplies, handling customer inquiries, receiving and disposing of samples, ensuring the competency of personnel, and keeping equipment running, plus others. What is needed and how these operations are performed is up to you.

Do you want to make sure you have considered all parts of the operation? Then use the TNI Environmental Laboratory Standard as your road map.
