NALS Service Disclaimer

Please be informed that the Northern Analytical Lab Services (NALS) is certified for water microbiology testing with the BC Provincial Health Officer and is accredited to ISO 17025:2017 with the Standards Council of Canada. To view a complete list of testing under our Scope of Accreditation, please visit our website. NALS testing packages and any associated analyses are not offered as commercial services. NALS at UNBC is a community resource and has developed its services to help local communities not having access to other testing facilities in their region. Acceptance of samples for analysis does not guarantee service. At any time, NALS may request further sample(s) to be resubmitted on an as-needed basis for completion of any requested services. Any such costs associated with re-sampling are not the responsibility of NALS and are assumed by the client. Data in any report prepared by NALS refers strictly to the supplied sample(s) at the time and place of testing without reference to any other matter. All such data will be regarded as confidential but specific data security requirements are the responsibility of the client. Clients retain responsibility for all oversight of sampling procedures not performed by NALS. NALS is not responsible for losses or damage incurred by use of its services, including but not limited to loss or damage of supplied sample(s). Any cancellation made after samples have been processed will result in a cancellation fee as well as fees for any services already rendered. Any data generated and/or acquired by the NALS will be discarded after a specified retention period, in compliance with regulatory and organizational standards.
