Sorry, but I don't know personally. We had to register with them and they put us through the wringer. They audited our labs, and continue doing so annually, to maintain our accreditation. We have never audited their lab, of course, since it's not our place to do so. But I'm sure that it's quite adequate to meet their mandate. The reason that we got accredited there was to make sure that we are accepted in every jurisdiction in the US where there is a legal requirement (most of the US actually has no requirements at all!). LA was just one of them. BTW, the City of San Francisco has something like this too, and so does the City of Chicago. Also several other cities, counties, states and federal agencies (yes, CSA got all those too). :-) Egon Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are those of Jim Eichner's invisible friend, Murphy (often mistakenly blamed for "Murphy's Law" which was actually written by an entirely different person with the same name."
