The standards were based, in part, on the SOFT/AAFS Toxicology Section Forensic Laboratory Guidelines, the de facto standards that were first published in 1991 and then adopted in 2013, having been periodically updated since 1996. The first laboratory accredited by ABFT in 1997 was the State of Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Toxicology Laboratory. Since 1997, an additional 43 laboratories have been accredited; 34 remain accredited at this time. (Grants $ 0) If this amount includes foreign grants, check here ...			28a	29,588
