Oversight Board
The Oversight Board is a critical, yet independent, aspect of the accreditation process created to support the DOELAP Administrator in maintaining long term continuity of DOE site dosimetry and radiobioassay programs. The Board consists of 5 members who each serve a 5-yr term. The Board members select one member to serve as chairman. A quorum of 3 is necessary on all votes. Boards members must abstain on all matters that could result in a potential conflict of interest.
What does the Oversight Board do?
Briefly, the Oversight Board:
- Reviews performance testing results, on-site assessment reports, and recommendations for accreditation made by the Performance Evaluation Program Administrator (PEPA) and makes accreditation recommendations to the DOELAP Administrator.
- Reviews remedial action plans for mitigating concerns or deficiencies identified during site assessments.
- Evaluates the Performance Testing Laboratory on a biannual basis for traceability of equipment and standards, conformance with established "quality system", applicable procedures, and good laboratory practices.
- Advises the DOELAP Administrator on requests for "technical equivalency."
Is there a Charter?
Yes! The Charter is published as Appendix A in DOE-STD-1111-98, DOE Laboratory Accreditation Program Administration.
Who selects members for the Board?
