Tests on the state list

• Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
• Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
• Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
• Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').

ADEM certifies labs per list (bacteriological, chemical, PFAS) and names no individual tests or analytes (the PFAS list names the method, EPA 537.1); ask the lab which tests it is certified for and whether it takes samples from homeowners.
