(a) This subchapter applies to certified environmental laboratories when performing radiochemical testing or radon/radon progeny-in-air testing on regulatory samples, and to laboratories performing radiochemical testing or radon/radon progeny-in-air testing on PT samples or two cross check samples to become certified. This subchapter also applies to laboratories performing the 48-Hour Rapid Gross Alpha Test for compliance with the PWTA. This subchapter applies to radiochemical testing and radon/radon progeny-in-air testing for parameters in the following categories:

1. Drinking Water Matrix:

i. Category DW10, Radiochemistry - Radioactivity & Radionuclides;

ii. Category DW11, Radon in Drinking Water; and

iii. Category DW13, Drinking Water - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

2. Non-Potable Matrix:

i. Category NPW13, Radiochemistry - Radioactivity & Radionuclides;

ii. Category NPW14, Radon in Non-Potable Water; and

iii. Category NPW16, NPW- Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

3. Air and Emissions Matrix:

i. Category AE05, Radionuclides Analysis;

ii. Category AE06, Air - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods;

iii. Category AE08, Radon in Air; and

iv. Category AE09, Radon in Air - Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods; and

4. Solid and Chemical Materials Matrix:

i. Category SCM12, Radiochemistry - Radioactivity and Radionuclides; and

ii. Category SCM14 - SCM Laboratory Developed and/or Non-Standard Methods.

(b) In addition to satisfying the applicable requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:18-1 through 3, a laboratory performing radiochemical testing within the scope of (a) above shall follow:

1. All applicable requirements in this subchapter; and

2. All requirements specified in the applicable DSAMs, including without limitation any requirements that are more stringent than the requirements in this subchapter.
