I believe the AOAC process for approving certificates is in the works; with no idea when that process will be completed. Not even MMTC will be privy to that knowledge. Everything is between the 3rd party lab and AOAC and secret to everyone else.  As such, everyone is waiting, including all of us. Sometimes there are loose ends while the AOAC will ask for this or that; making the process a little longer. That's what I think is happening right now. The holidays could drag out more time.
