Section 860. Laboratory report format and contents

A. The results of each test or series of tests carried out by the laboratory shall be reported accurately, clearly, unambiguously and objectively. The results shall normally be reported in a test report required by regulation and shall include all the information necessary for the interpretation of the test results and all information required by the method used.

B. Where the certificate or report contains results of tests performed by subcontractors, these results shall be clearly identified by subcontractor name or applicable certification number.

C. After issuance of the report, the laboratory report shall remain unchanged. Material amendments to a calibration certificate, test report or test certificate after issue shall be made only in the form of a further document, or data transfer including the statement "Supplement to Test Report or Test Certificate, serial number... (or as otherwise identified)," or equivalent form of wording. Such amendments shall meet all the relevant requirements of this article.
