Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 23, 2024 Journalists Share Posted December 23, 2024 The University of Kentucky's Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory was assigned interim laboratory accreditation after the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium lifted its suspension of the lab Tuesday. The lab's suspension was triggered in March for what the RMTC termed nonconformities associated with its Laboratory Code of Standards, Section 2.4.9.2. The suspension was lifted after the Horserace Testing Laboratory Committee, which oversees the RMTC's Laboratory Accreditation Program, completed its review of the UK-EACL's response and associated corrective actions and determined the lab had successfully fulfilled the designated requirements for accreditation reinstatement and is in compliance with RMTC's Laboratory Code of Standards. UK-EACL has been assigned Interim RMTC laboratory accreditation with a one-year monitoring period, after which the lab will be eligible for full accreditation. “The Racing Medication and Testing Consortium continues to serve the racing industry through the critical role of its Laboratory Accreditation Program,” said RMTC Executive Director Dr. Michael Hardy. “The importance of such a program is to assess and validate laboratory capabilities which support industry regulation of anti-doping and medication control programs.” The post UK Lab Receives Interim Accreditation appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
