Abstract:
TTB offers the Voluntary Chemist Certification Program as a service to the alcohol beverage industry to facilitate export of beverage alcohol to foreign markets. Many countries that require testing as a condition of entry for alcohol beverages accept a report of analysis of those alcohol beverages from a TTB-certified chemist. This certification program ensures that chemists, enologists, brewers, and technicians have the required proficiencies to conduct the required chemical analyses and generate quality data. This information collection includes the letterhead applications for certification, submission of certification test results, requests for TTB-affirmed reports of analysis, and letterhead notices of changes in chemist employment place or status. Under this program, certified chemists and their laboratories must also maintain usual and customary records regarding all analytical results conducted under the TTB certification, and records related to laboratory equipment, quality control policies, procedures and systems, and analyst training and competence.
