About Locus Laboratory Accreditation

Accreditation process is designed to help Locus' clients choose labs that can deliver electronic data deliverables (EDD) directly to cloud-based EIM.

The Locus EDD accreditation process is intended to help industry and analytical laboratories drive standard consolidation, and ultimately, the creation of error-free defendable datasets. It is designed to help analytical laboratories deliver analytical data free of errors into Locus' cloud-based Environmental Information management (EIM) system.

The formal process includes the generation and upload of test EDDs to ensure that each Laboratory Information Management System or LIMS can deliver data according to Locus EIM and customer requirements. This testing is followed up by a training session that covers how to load EDDs into EIM and resolve common errors that may be flagged as the EDDs are evaluated for errors. The objective of the accreditation process is to have laboratories gain the necessary experience and expertise to routinely deliver error-free submittals of analytical results to EIM, thus allowing the data to become actionable and consumed by consultants and site owners almost immediately.

There is a nominal accreditation processing fee and annual renewal that is easily recovered through gained efficiency. Laboratories that would like to become certified and meet certain criteria can apply at this page. The accreditation process may take up to 90 days. Once certified, the labs are added to the list of certified labs on the Locus web site.
