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*').

MDE prints the approved tests as "Micro 3, 4 Metals 1 Inorganic 1, 2" (codes keyed to MDE's List of Approved Contaminants, Revised 10/10/2024). MDE prints no expiry date. MDE's key describes Microbiology Group 4 only as "Enzyme Substrate Determinations" and does not name coliform bacteria or E. coli, so no bacteria certification is shown. Ask the lab. MDE lists this lab under "Out of State Labs". MDE prints "Kennet Square"; Pennsylvania DEP's list prints Kennett Square for 204 Line Road.

Also certified by other states

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 Maryland certification program.
