demonstrated that it operates in accordance with NVLAP management and technical requirements pertaining to quality systems, personnel, accommodation and environment, test and calibration methods, equipment, measurement traceability, sampling, handling of test and calibration items, and test and calibration reports.
NVLAP accreditation does not imply any guarantee certification of laboratory performance or test/
calibration data. NVLAP accreditation is a finding of laboratory competence.
Technical Requirements for the Accreditation Process: NVLAP
assessments are conducted in accordance with the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program regulations, which are found at 15 CFR
part 285. NVLAP accreditation is in full conformance with relevant standards of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, including ISO/IEC
17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
Accreditation is granted to a laboratory following successful completion of a process, which includes submission of an application and payment of fees by the laboratory, a review of the laboratory management system documentation, an on-site assessment by technical experts, participation in proficiency testing when available, and resolution of any management system or technical nonconformities identified during any phase of the application process. The accreditation is formalized through issuance of a Certificate of Accreditation and Scope of Accreditation.
General requirements for accreditation are given in NIST
Handbook 150, NVLAP Procedures and General Requirements, https
nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/hb/2020/
NIST.HB.150-2020.pdf. The specific technical and administrative requirements for the program for accreditation of laboratories performing SIT and O/UAT on Federal Warfare Systems are provided in NIST
Handbook 150872, Federal Warfare Systems, https nvlpubs.nist.gov/
nistpubs/hb/2021/NIST.HB.150-8722021.pdf. Laboratories must meet all NVLAP criteria and requirements in order to become accredited. To be considered for accreditation, the applicant laboratory must provide a completed application to NVLAP, pay all required fees, agree to conditions for accreditation, and be found competent to perform the tests prescribed in the standards.
