(1) documentation of accreditation by ANAB or ABFT, if obtained;
(2) all documentation submitted to ANAB or ABFT, as part of such accreditation application process, the continuing compliance requirements, if any, and any other related matters; and
(3) all documentation received by the laboratory from ANAB or ABFT, which may include, but not be limited to any of the following, if appropriate: information pertaining to the application process; the accreditation inspection; the summation conference; the final inspection report; and disciplinary actions or proceedings.
(b) Upon receipt of such materials, the division shall conduct an initial review to ensure that all necessary documents have been submitted. Thereafter, the division shall forward the documents to the DNA subcommittee for its review and binding recommendation regarding NYS accreditation to perform DNA testing. The DNA subcommittee shall forward its binding recommendation to the commission, which shall make a final determination as to whether NYS accreditation in forensic DNA testing should be granted. For a forensic laboratory seeking accreditation in disciplines other than DNA testing, the division shall forward the documentation directly to the commission for its determination.
(c) Upon the determination to grant NYS accreditation to a forensic laboratory, the division shall forward a certificate of NYS accreditation to such laboratory. The certificate and/or accompanying correspondence shall indicate the forensic disciplines in which the laboratory is accredited.
