NOTICE OF RENEWAL OF ACCEPTANCE – LEA 252
Dear Mr. Greeley:
This letter is to inform you of the renewal of acceptance by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) of the facility referenced above into the Laboratory Evaluation and Acceptance (LEA) program.
The referenced facility may provide the construction material testing and inspection services indicated on the attached list for projects under the jurisdiction of the DSA, which includes public schools (grades K-12 and community colleges) and State-owned or leased essential service buildings. LEA information for your facility will be posted on the DSA website (www.app.dgs.ca.gov/tracker/apptovedLabs.aspx).
Please take time to review this correspondence with members of your staff that might be unfamiliar with our requirements.
This acceptance is valid until September 9, 2027, and is contingent on continued compliance with the following LEA program requirements.
1. Jacob Bailey (RCE# 94679) is the approved full-time engineering manager responsible for the testing and inspection services listed on the enclosed. You must notify the DSA prior to any change in engineering managerial responsibility. 2a. The facility shall continue to receive biennial assessments by AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) as applicable to the services offered at the facility. Future reports and evidence of corrective action shall be submitted to the DSA. 2b. The facility shall maintain current participation in AMRL and CCRL proficiency sample programs (PSP). Future PSP reports and explanations of any low ratings shall be submitted to the DSA.
3. If the subject laboratory has granted DSA “Specifier” privileges with AMRL, written reports do not need to be sent to the DSA.
4. The facility shall maintain all test equipment and records in accordance with applicable, current American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.

5. The facility shall provide laboratory and field-testing personnel who are adequately trained, supervised and currently certified as required by the latest ASTM or other recognized standards.
6. Masonry inspectors assigned to projects under DSA jurisdiction shall have passed DSA’s masonry inspector examination and be specifically approved for each project by the DSA field engineer.
7. Welding inspectors assigned to projects under DSA jurisdiction shall hold current American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or Senior CWI certification and be specifically approved for each project by the DSA field engineer.
8. The facility’s Nondestructive Testing (NDT) program shall be supervised by an individual currently certified by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) as NDT Level III in applicable methods. Such certification shall have been obtained through ASNT by testing, not by employer or self-certification.
9. The facility’s NDT written practice and procedures shall conform to the requirements of ANSI/ASNT CP-189, 2006, and be approved by the supervising Level III. All NDT technicians assigned to projects under DSA jurisdiction shall hold current Level II or greater certification, in accordance with the requirements of CP-189.

11. The physical location of the facility, including but not limited to laboratory equipment and personnel, shall not change without prior notification to the DSA.
Please be aware that failure to comply with any of the requirements of the LEA Program may result in this acceptance being revoked. A facility with a revoked acceptance may be reinstated when it demonstrates all deficiencies cited by the DSA have been corrected. Fees may be charged.
If you wish to continue DSA acceptance beyond your current expiration date, you must submit a renewal application package at least 30 days prior to that date. The application (DSA form 100-PRE) and detailed instructions outlining submittal requirements can be downloaded from the DSA website
