Before your samples arrive, we need to get your company logistics, billing information, and contacts in our systems so there is no delay in processing your samples. Having it all setup ensures your reports and your invoices go to the right place or person. It also gives us a chance to make sure you have access to our online return forms and send you any testing kits you will need.

- We need your shipping and billing address and contacts set up in our systems to begin working with us.

Our website also contains informative articles, testing and tutorial videos, PDFs of our documents, FAQs, our monthly newsletter archive, and webinar information.
3. Take it a step further and complete a Web Access Form. This will connect your online registration with your account so that you can access your test reports online in our Customer Portal 24/7 and 365 days a year.

7. When your samples arrive at the lab, we send you an email confirmation (samples attached):
- Please check this email to ensure we’ve entered your samples for testing correctly. If there are changes that need to be made, please let us know right away so that we can update the information in our system.

8. If you checked only email on your sample return form, you will receive an email with your test report PDF attached. If you also checked mail and your sample(s) pass, we will print and mail you a tank tag (foam, antifreeze, dry chemical) or system tag (sprinkler). Samples of our test reports and tags can be found on the website.
9. Invoices – If you submitted your credit card, your card will be charged following testing, you will receive both a paid invoice, and a credit card receipt. If you used a PO or requested billing on our 30-day net terms, you will be emailed an invoice.
