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*').

Idaho drinking-water certificates on file: Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Radiochemistry (scanned certificates, read by OCR and checked; analytes left out where the scan could not be read with certainty). DHW's folder also holds an earlier organic chemistry (PFAS) certificate that ended 3/31/2026; it is not used here. PFAS: DHW certifies the group "Per- & Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) (6)" on one line without naming each compound, so it is shown as a certified group.

Before you send a sample

Call the lab to confirm it's currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Bacteria samples have short holding times. Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Idaho certification program.
