1. Certification fees for primary initial, renewed, or revised application are based on matrix, type, and complexity of analytical methods that a laboratory is certified to perform.

2. Certification fees for reciprocal initial, renewed, or revised applications are based on the number of fields of testing on a certificate.

3. Each fee item is assigned a point value. The cost per point value determined is multiplied by the total number of points for each application. Total applicable fees are computed by the following equation:

$$X = (Y)(Z)$$

Where:

X = total fees applied to the certification application invoice

Y = cost assigned to the point value in section 33.1-23-04-02

Z = sum of point values as determined for initial, renewed, or revised applications.
