Description
Summary:The Drinking Water Laboratory Certification Program has been in existence since 1943 and was adopted by the Drinking Water Program in 1978 under the authority given the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Both USEPA and the states are looking for ways to make the program efficient in the face of dwindling resources. Recent discussions concerning the certification program have included major new approaches. With impending reauthorization of the SDWA and the changing needs of the certification community, the program could be significantly modified. El Programa Para la Certificación de Laboratorios de Agua Potable existe desde 1943 y fué adoptado del Programa de Agua Potable de 1978 bajo la autoridad otorgada a la Agencia Protectora del Ambiente de los EEUU (USEPA) por el Acta de Agua Potable (SWDA). Tanto, el USEPA como los estados están buscando métodos de hacer un programa eficiente en vista a los escasos recursos. Discusiones recientes concernientes al programa de certificación han incluído grandes e innovativos cambios. Con la reautorización de la SDWA pendiente y las necesidades cambiantes de la comunidad certificada, el programa podría ser significativamente modificado.
