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.
