The OQA currently certifies the analytical capabilities of approximately 700 laboratories. Most of these are small to medium sized laboratories; and are laboratory facilities servicing a specific facility (water purveyor, industry, municipal authority).

Certification of laboratories is an ongoing process. Certifications are added and deleted for laboratories for various reasons every day. Therefore, the OQA encourages all visitors to this site to verify the accreditation status of a laboratory by reviewing the laboratory's certificate and Annual Certified Parameter List issued by the NJDEP or by contacting one of the OQA staff to verify the status of a laboratory.
