Gary,

you make this statement...

Besides I have never seen a cost impact on using an accredited lab, and 
knowing that my test lab reads this forum, I had better not see one (Morning, 
Paul and Jim), so it just doesn't seem prudent to me not to use an accredited 
lab

I charge $600/day for members of my EMC Club, and $800/day for non-memebers. 
I suspect that most acredited labs out there are a bit higher than that.... I 
also know that my data is every bit as good as any other lab I've ever 
seen....

So, I can't agree with you about the cost impact. Acreditation is for 
building confidence, especially when products leave the country. It's only 
because the FCC is paronoid that Acredited labs are required here! Ironic 
really when they blow off the need for immunity testing.

In good faith,

Derek Walton
