Assessment Fee Policies
Laboratory Assessment Fees
The laboratory assessment fee is a combination of the basic fee and the individual procedure fee listed below. The laboratory will be invoiced after the on-site assessment.
Basic Fee
The basic on-site assessment fee represents in-sequence laboratory assessment costs associated with travel to the laboratory, assessment of general test apparatus, review of findings with laboratory staff, report preparation and review of the quality system.
- A basic fee of $900 will be charged if the laboratory assessment includes one or two scopes of testing (ex: Soil and Aggregate).
- If the laboratory assessment includes three or more scopes of testing, a basic fee of $1585 will be charged (ex: Soil, Aggregate and Hot-Mix).
Note: basic fees will not be charged for Sprayed Fire-Resistive Material, unless it is the only scope included in the on-site assessment.
Individual Test Fee
The individual test fee represents the costs associated with the assessment of apparatus and observation of procedures associated with each of the test methods. An individual procedure fee of $140, $235, or $285 is charged for each test method included in the laboratory assessment. In addition, a fee of $100 is charged for each ASTM quality system specification (C1077, D3666, D3740, E329).
Out-of-Sequence Fees
When a laboratory receives an assessment outside the normal AMRL tour schedule, an additional fee of 1.5 times the normal laboratory assessment fee, plus extraordinary expenses (i.e. air travel, vehicle rental) may be applied.
Note: An additional fee may not apply for new laboratories. Please contact us if interested in an Out-of-Sequence assessment to receive an estimate.
Cancellation Fees
Postponing or canceling an On-Site assessment within 14 days of the scheduled start date will result in an additional fee of $500.
Fees listed above are effective July 1, 2008.
Canadian Surcharge
An additional surcharge fee equal to the 15 % Canadian withholding tax on U.S. services will be applied to all accreditation and assessment invoices for Canadian laboratories.
