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).
