BAILEY, J.
Wilson’s appeal challenges the trial court’s rulings that precluded him from eliciting testimony from Dr. Kriger concerning the results of audits conducted at the Indiana State Department of Toxicology Laboratory. . . . .
. . . .
Here, Wilson sought to examine Dr. Kriger concerning the results of audits performed at the Department’s laboratory. During Wilson’s offer of proof, he examined Dr. Kriger concerning the audit results. Dr. Kriger testified that the audits covered testing of substances for marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol performed from 2007 to 2009. The portion of the audits covering marijuana and cocaine tests had been completed. The portion of the audits covering blood-alcohol testing had been suspended, and Dr. Kriger had not received any information concerning the preliminary results of the blood-alcohol testing audit. Numerous personnel changes had occurred between the 2007 through 2009 testing period covered by the audit and Dr. Kriger’s arrival at the Department in February 2011, and Dr. Kriger had introduced numerous changes to the testing and analysis procedures followed by the Department.
At the conclusion of the offer of proof, Wilson argued that this testimony was relevant to the jury’s consideration of the results of the 2011 blood-alcohol testing performed on his blood sample. The trial court concluded that because the audit applied only to tests conducted in the years 2007, 2008, and 2009, any audit results would have no bearing upon the tests Golden performed on Wilson’s blood sample in 2011. Wilson argues that these matters bear upon the jury’s assessment of the credibility of the Department’s analysis of his blood sample because his test “could have been part of an audit” and the audit had previously found problems with the analysis of samples for cocaine. (Appellant’s Br. at 8.) Wilson contends that his samples were excluded from the audit because both the chronological scope of the audit and the decision to suspend the audit were arbitrary, and these decisions “went directly to the credibility of Dr. Kriger, the credibility of the Department … and the credibility of the test results received from the Department.” (Appellant’s Br. at 8.)
We do not agree. The discontinuation of the audit on blood-alcohol samples and the period of time covered by the audits generally may bear upon the credibility of the Department’s testing results from 2007 to 2009. But it is not clear that these questions bear upon the credibility of the Department’s analysis here, where different procedures were executed by different analysts serving under a different Director more than 1 ½ years beyond the chronological scope of the audits. Thus, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion when it determined that the testimony Wilson sought to introduce was not relevant to the question of the reliability of Golden’s testing and excluded that testimony from evidence.
