Certificate programs

An effective NDE program rehes heavily on periodic certification of the competence of its personnel (13,14). Certification programs designate levels of competence for all levels of personnel. Level I technicians are able to carry out instmctions in an NDE Level III supervisors are qualified to evaluate the needs of the test and devise a scheme that assures the desired level of quaUty or safety. 

A primary responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the enforcement of the Federal Food, Dmg, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 and its various amendments, eg. May, 1976, in which dental materials, instmments, and equipment are included. Premarketing clearance requirements apply for estabhshing the safety and effectiveness of new products. There is a close Haison between the FDA and the ADA standards and certification programs.

McCabe and Dunlap apparently were convinced of the potential efficacy of the certification program, and were aware of the time and effort that had been expended in its development, but it remained a program without legal sanction. Through the winter, the two men searched for a way to resolve the conflict and salvage Hesse s work. Dunlap, a chemist himself, could well appreciate Hesse s arguments. 

Infections can also be passed on by vegetative propagation from infected plants. Certification programs exist in many countries to ensure that only virus-free plant stock is sold, most particularly of very susceptible fruits such as raspberries. 

Above) Seed potatoes Virus-free certification programs exist for seed potatoes and some fruits look for these, and for disease-resistant varieties. 

A third concern is the industry s ability to compete with clam products harvested from the East Coast, Canada, Japan and Korea. To successfully compete, we must establish a reputation for a safe and wholesome quality product. To this end, Alaska has become a member of the National Shellfish Sanitation Program which allows us to participate in interstate marketing. In addition, the state has instituted a seafood certification program.

CDC and the CRMLN established a traceability scheme (Fig. 1). The CRMLN uses this approach in a certification program for manufacturers. In this program, NCCLS protocol EP9-A is used as a basis for comparison using fresh serum samples [31]. The manufacturer collects a minimum of 40 specimens and analyzes them in duplicate in five separate runs. The specimens are then shipped to a CRMLN laboratory for analytical and statistical analysis. When the NCEP performance criteria for bias and precision are met, the manufacturer is issued a Certificate of Traceability for the...
