NRCC (TC) Certification

Can individuals with National Registry of Certified Chemists (NRCC) Toxicological Chemist (TC) certifications oversee forensic toxicology labs? Two respondents said that NRCC (TC) certification likely does not cover forensic toxicology to an appreciable extent, and one of those respondents suggested that the original poster seek American Board of Forensic Toxicology (ABFT) certification.
