Tests on the state list

This list does not break certification down by analyte. Ask the lab which tests it is certified for; the groups as written on the list are below.

• Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
• Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
• Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
• Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').

MSDH lists this lab with EPA lab ID MS00021, certified for: Chemistry, Microbiology. The list names no analytes (for example coliform bacteria, nitrate or lead) and no expiry date; ask the lab which tests it is certified for.

Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Mississippi certification program.
