We will review OWM 2026 annual submission requirements for state laboratory program participants, including an overview and examples of the special technical assessment topic to supplement the training provided during the 2026 RMAPs. This session is an opportunity to have questions and concerns addressed in advance of the November submission deadline. This Q&A session is a follow-up to the Annual Submission Webinar held in July. Active participation is encouraged, including open discussion of challenges and best practices.

CLASS INFORMATION

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

IDENTIFY 2026 annual submission requirements to receive OWM Recognition through 2027;
USE this year’s special technical assessment (STA) form to complete an audit on the QMS compliance; and
APPLY experiences and ideas shared by the group to avoid problematic submission practices that can negatively impact a Recognition Application.
