How fees are calculated: DCLS calculates a laboratory's total fee by adding the fees for the number of test methods in each category in the fee table for which the laboratory is certified or applies to be certified. Contact lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov for more information about the fee category for a specific method.
Additional fees apply when a laboratory:
1. Applies for modification of certification under 1VAC30-41-110;
2. Moves location, if the move requires DCLS to perform an onsite assessment; or
3. Requests reinstatement of certification when DCLS requires an onsite assessment.
Hourly review fee and calculation of total fee: The fee to be charged is the sum of the total hourly charges for all reviewers and any onsite assessment costs incurred. The hourly charge per reviewer is $84. The charge per reviewer is determined by multiplying the number of hours expended in the review by $84.
Onsite review and travel expenses: If an onsite review is required, travel time and onsite review time will be charged at the same hourly rate of $84 and any travel expenses will be added.
When to pay: Payment is due when the initial application is processed or annually thereafter upon receipt of the invoice from DCLS. Annual billing precedes the expiration of the current certificate.
How to pay: Fees may be paid by check or credit card via an electronic payment portal provided by DCLS, or other payment arrangements may be made by contacting lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov. All payments are made after an invoice is issued by DCLS in accordance with instructions on the invoice or in accordance with special arrangements made by contacting DCLS.
