Terms of Testing Service and Commitment to Integrity:
Sample testing procedures are executed in accordance with Heath Canada approved methods. These methods are articulated in proprietary High North Standard Operating Procedure documents. High North will use concerted efforts with Health Canada, appropriate consultants, and other relevant industry professionals to remain in good standing with Health Canada. All samples submitted to High North will undergo the testing prescribed by the Client and the information will be used in accordance with the High North Privacy Policy. Test results will not be made available to the public without the express permission of the Client. Test results are specific to the samples provided/tested. The accuracy and reliability of the results are strictly dependent on how well procedures for providing samples are followed. High North reserves the right to discontinue/sever all business relations with Client if sample fraud is suspected.
Please follow the instructions on the Sample Submission Form (Chain of Custody document) supplied by High North (for assistance with the Sample Submission Form (Chain of Custody document), please contact High North via phone or email). The contact information provided on the Sample Submission Form (Chain of Custody document) should be for the person to whom the results will be given and who may be contacted if clarification is required. A High North order number and sample number is assigned by High North when the sample is received. This will be the number used to track the progress of the order. High North will process all samples on a first come first serve basis. Samples are set-up for testing within one business day after receipt and (excluding holidays and weekends). After testing, any remaining sample will be destroyed. A Material Safety Data Sheet (“MSDS”) must accompany all hazardous samples submitted to High North. Samples will be stored at room temperature unless special arrangements are made by the Client and High North. Pricing for Services are those currently published on this Website or as otherwise agreed in writing between High North and the Client. Any cancellation of testing will result in charges being assessed on all testing completed prior to the notice of cancellation and samples not already tested will be billed at 50% of the original order total. The remaining balance will be issued as to the client in the form of in-laboratory credit, available for future services. Samples Delivery and Retention: Samples are retained for 15-days. If additional time is desired, then a written request is required and an additional monthly fee will apply.
