National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP)

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is a U.S. government program that evaluates and certifies laboratories to ensure they meet specific standards of quality and competence. By assessing the testing and calibration capabilities of labs, NVLAP helps ensure that their results are reliable and trustworthy. Accreditation through NVLAP signifies that a laboratory operates according to nationally recognized standards, which is important for industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and environmental testing. This process promotes confidence in laboratory results, benefiting both consumers and businesses.
