Description
NVLAP accreditation
The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is a renowned accreditation program created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NVLAP was created to solve the problem of unreliable weight calibration by offering third-party assessment and accreditation to testing and calibration laboratories. NVLAP assesses laboratories with proficiency testing, along with document review. Assessment against the management and technical requirements published in the International Standard, ISO/IEC 17025:2005, is also a component of NVLAP accreditation assessment.
