Texas A&M Drug Testing Lab to Seek A2LA Accreditation
- Topics: Article
As part of its ongoing commitment to the state’s horse racing industry, the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) announced May 7 that it will seek ISO 17025 accreditation for its drug testing lab from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
The A2LA accreditation program is designed to meet the guidelines of the Association of Racing Commissioners International and the Association of Official Racing Chemists (AORC). TVMDL is an AORC member.
TVDML’s goal is to achieve ISO 17025 accreditation by early spring of 2014. This would be the laboratory’s second accreditation. In 2012, the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians renewed TVMDL’s accreditation for an additional five years, which includes its drug testing lab.
