Laboratory Accreditations

META’s own laboratory accreditations include maintaining National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Proficiency Analytical Testing (PAT) Program proficiency. META has maintained continuous PAT proficiency since NIOSH began the program in the 1980’s. META’s PAT proficiency allows us to provide on-site asbestos air sample analysis during asbestos abatement projects around the country. META relies on its contract relationships with major national environmental laboratories. These laboratories carry out state-of-the-art analyses on a wide variety of analytes and hold all major laboratory accreditations as outlined below. Contract Laboratory Accreditations:
