PREFACE

This fifth annual report summarizes the activity of the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program (NVLAP) of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) for calendar year 1981 and provides

information about laboratories accredited under the program.

NVLAP is intended to examine the professional and technical competence of public and private testing

laboratories at their request. DOC will grant or deny accreditation to testing laboratories based on an

assessment of their competence to perform certain test methods. Actions undertaken in this program are

specified by formal published procedures.

NVLAP benefits both laboratories and their users. Laboratory users have assurance that laboratories

have the personnel, equipment, procedures, and competence to provide reliable test data. Laboratories are encouraged to raise their level of performance and receive recognition of their competence. NVLAP accreditation may reduce the number of audits required by other accrediting bodies. NVLAP can be used as an

integral part of product certification programs.

Report of Program Activities

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program (NVLAP) undertook significant new activities during 1981, while maintaining last years number

of accreditation actions. At the end of 1981, 94 lab- oratories were accredited, including 39 laboratories

under the laboratory accreditation program (LAP)

for thermal insulation materials (the "Insulation

LAP"), 42 laboratories under the LAP for freshly

mixed field concrete (the "Concrete LAP"), and 23

laboratories under the LAP for carpet (the "Carpet

LAP"). (Note that some laboratories are accredited

under more than one LAP.)

Five new LAPs are under development or are being

considered for development to accredit:

(1 ) Processors of personnel radiation dosimeters

to serve the needs of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission;

(2) Laboratories that test solid fuel room heaters;

(3) Laboratories that test windows and doors (Note

that (2) and (3) serve Federally insured housing programs of the U.S. Department of Housing

and Urban Development);

(4) Laboratories that provide acoustical testing

services (LAP requested by an acoustical materials manufacturer); and

(5) Laboratories that provide electromagnetic cali- bration services (LAP requested by a small elec- tronics manufacturer).

A total of $741,000 was allocated for NVLAP activities for fiscal year 1981, down $68,000 from fis- cal year 1980. During the past year, staffing level was equivalent to 13 full-time persons. Discussions began with the National Association

of Testing Authorities (Australia's national laboratory accreditation system) on a possible bilateral

agreement for reciprocal recognition of each other's accredited laboratories. Bilateral agreements with

other countries' accreditation systems are under consideration by DOC as a result of the activities of the

International Laboratory Accreditation Conference.

Bilateral agreements such as these are expected to play an important role in fostering international trade. A workshop held in November provided a public

forum for the expression of views on what the appropriate roles of the government and the private sector should be with respect to laboratory accreditation in

the United States. An analysis of the issues raised

during and pursuant to the workshop is available

as NBS Special Publication 632, issued in March

1982. The NVLAP Procedures (15 CFR Parts 7a, 7b,

and 7c) were significantly amended in July 1981.

The amendment streamlines NVLAP by adding the

accreditation criteria to the NVLAP procedures,

eliminating separate criteria committees for each

LAP in favor of one advisory committee, and pro- viding for workshops to address technical issues for administering newly established LAPs.

The Appendices to Part I of this report summarize the current NVLAP accreditation process, describe the steps involved in requesting a LAP, and

list the major publications prepared by the NVLAP

staff during 1981. Part II of this report is a directo- ry of all laboratories accredited under NVLAP. The

accredited laboratories are listed alphabetically, and

are cross referenced by test method for each LAP

and by State.

2. ESTABLISHED LABORATORY

ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS

Accreditation Actions.

NVLAP maintained last year's number of accredit- ation actions during 1981. Nine laboratories were

newly accredited and 85 laboratories renewed their accreditation. An alphabetical listing of all accredited laboratories and the test methods for which each is accredited is provided in Part 11, Section 1 of this report. Four laboratories voluntarily terminated their accreditation. At the end of the year, evaluations

for renewal of accreditation for four laboratories,

and evaluations for initial accreditation of thirteen new applicants were in progress.

Insulation LAP.

The LAP for thermal insulation materials has 57

test methods for which accreditation may be sought.

As of December 31, 1981, 39 laboratories were ac- credited to perform one or more of these test methods. Seven regularly scheduled on-site visits and six monitoring visits to the laboratories were conducted

during the year. The third through fifth rounds

of proficiency testing for insulation test methods

involving thermal conductivity, settled density, and

1
flammability properties were completed. The sixth round is under way. Proficiency testing results are published in "NVLAP Tech Briefs" (see Appendix

1 for publication dates).

Concrete LAP.

Accreditation may be sought for up to seven test methods involving freshly mixed field concrete. The

methods are arranged into two groups which address

(1) field testing and (2) laboratory and field testing. In addition, a single optional test method may be

requested with either of the two groups. As of the end of 1981, 42 laboratories were accredited under

the Concrete LAP. Twenty-nine regularly scheduled

on-site visits and six monitoring visits to the laboratories were conducted during the year. Laboratories

continued to submit data as part of the within-lab

and between-lab proficiency testing programs.

Carpet LAP.

The LAP for carpet has 12 test methods for which

accreditation may be sought. As of December 31,

1981, 23 laboratories were accredited for one or more

of these test methods. HUD is using test results pro- duced by these laboratories as part of its carpet cer- tification program. One regularly scheduled onsite visit and six monitoring visits to the laboratories were conducted during the year. The first through

third rounds of proficiency testing for carpet test methods involving colorfastness, pile weight, pile

thickness, strength, and flammability properties were

completed. The fourth round is under way.

3. LAPS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

OR BEING CONSIDERED

Personnel Radiation Dosimetry Processors The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

and DOC signed an interagency agreement on July

17, 1981, to develop a LAP for processors of personnel

dosimeters that measure ionizing radiation received

by occupationally exposed personnel. This LAP will examine the competence of personnel dosimetry proc- essors (i.e., laboratories) by evaluating the results of their participation in proficiency testing against

a Health Physics Society standard and will evaluate, through on-site assessments, elements of quality assurance expected of competent processors of per- sonnel dosimeters. NVLAP accreditation will be

accepted by NRC as a demonstration of this competency. The technical details for administering this LAP are being developed. A notice announcing

the formal establishment of this LAP is expected

during 1982.

Solid Fuel Room Heaters DOC is proceeding with a U.S. Department of

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) request for a

LAP to accredit laboratories that test solid fuel room

heaters (46 FR 17073-17074). A public workshop

to develop the technical details for administering

this LAP was held October 13-14, 1981. The workshop resolved the technical details except for the proficiency testing requirements which are being studied

further. A notice announcing the formal establishment

of this LAP was published during the spring of 1982.

Acoustical Testing Services

On October 19, 1981, DOC published a final finding

of need to accredit laboratories that provide acoustical testing services (46 FR 51267-51271). Public

workshops to develop the technical details for administering this LAP were held on February 23-24 and

March 10-11, 1982.

Electromagnetic Calibration Services

A final finding of need to accredit laboratories

that provide- electromagnetic calibration services cov- ering power and attenuation measurements was published on January 14, 1982 (47 FR 2146-2148).

Windows and Doors

On December 16, 1981, HUD requested a LAP to accredit laboratories that test windows and doors. The request, submitted in accordance with NVLAP

Part 7b Procedures (15 CFR Part 7b), was published

in the Federal Register for public comment (47 FR

3025-3026).

4. ADMINISTRATION AND

OTHER ACTIVITIES

NVLAP operates under the legal authority vested

in the Secretary of Commerce by 15 U.S.C. 272 and

Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1946, Part VI. Rules and

regulations governing NVLAP (NVLAP Procedures)

are found under Title 15, Parts 7a, 7b, and 7c of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Secretary has dele- gated the operational responsibility for NVLAP to the Director of the National Bureau of Standards.

Resources. For fiscal year 1981, beginning October 1, 1980,

$741,000 was allocated for NVLAP activities. For

fiscal year 1982, beginning October 1, 1981, $740,000 was allocated. During the past year staffing level was equivalent to 13 full-time persons. A total of

$112,000 in fees was recovered in fiscal year 1981

from laboratories seeking accreditation to offset the

costs associated with their evaluation and accreditation. As more laboratories participate, a larger

portion of the program will be funded from fees rather than from appropriated funds.

International Interest in Laboratory Accreditation.

Laboratory accreditation systems are in operation or are being developed in other countries. As a result.

2
an effort is being made to involve government participation in international discussions of laboratory

accreditation systems to facilitate international trade opportunities. The International Laboratory Accreditation Conference (ILAC) is an informal assem- blage of approximately 42 nations and 12 international organizations whose overall purpose and

objective is to promote the development of national

systems for accrediting laboratories, the employment

of harmonized accreditation criteria, and the development of bilateral or multilateral agreements

which would encourage importers to accept the re- sults of tests and data made by laboratories which

have been accredited under a recognized laboratory

accreditation system in exporting nations. ILAC has

held five annual meetings in an attempt to develop

mechanisms to provide mutual recognition of test- ing capabilities among countries. The fifth ILAC

conference was held in Mexico City during the last week of October 1981. Numerous committee meetings also have been held. A worldwide directory of

laboratory accreditation systems has been developed

by ILAC. Guidelines for system operation, equipment

calibrations, and proficiency testing are being

developed. Legal impediments to the recognition of foreign laboratories have been identified. Future

ILAC efforts will focus on bilateral agreements to accept test data from accredited laboratories between

countries. These activities are particularly relevant

to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

(GATT) to which the United States is a signatory.

One of GATT's objectives is to minimize technical

barriers to trade, such as requirements for testing in importing countries. NVLAP staff has held periodic discussions about

acceptance of test data from accredited laboratories with representatives of foreign national laboratory

accreditation systems and by the end of the year was

considering a bilateral agreement with the National

Association of Testing Authorities (Australia's national laboratory accreditation system). Bilateral agreements can play an important role in foster- ing international acceptance of U.S. test data.

Workshop on Future Directions

of Laboratory Accreditation

A two-day public workshop concerning present

status and future direction of laboratory accreditation activities in the United States was held November

16-17, 1981, at the National Bureau of Standards

in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The workshop provided

a public forum for the expression of views on what

the appropriate roles of the government and private

sector should be with respect to laboratory accreditation in the United States. The workshop program

was developed around the following key issues:

1) Whether the DOC should cease its present role and substitute in its place a program to accredit organizations which, in turn, would accredit pri- vate sector testing laboratories. 2) What, if any, additional measures should be

taken to assure that an effective U.S. presence remains in international laboratory accreditation activities, including bilateral arrangements.

3) What action, if any, can be taken by the private

sector and/or the government to reduce the proliferation of inspections and paperwork arising

from duplicative accreditation activities within the United States. The workshop was scheduled in response to requests

from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation and the American Council of Independent Laboratories to amend the NVLAP Procedures

by transforming NVLAP from a system that directly accredits laboratories to a system that would ac- credit organizations which, in turn, would accredit

laboratories. An analysis of the issues raised during

and pursuant to the workshop is available as NBS

Special Publication 632, issued in March 1982.

New Amendment, July 1981.

An amendment to the NVLAP Procedures which

streamlines the program was published on July 17,

1981 (46 FR 37029-37040). This amendment revises the Procedures by:

1) Adding the current NVLAP accreditation cri- teria to the NVLAP Procedures in the Code of

Federal Regulations (15 CFR Parts 7a, 7b, and

7c);

2) Eliminating separate criteria committees for each LAP in favor of one advisory committee

to advise the Department on program and policy issues concerning NVLAP and laboratory accreditation; and

3) Providing informal public workshops to devel- op technical issues for administering newly es- tablished LAPs.

Appendix 1 summarizes the current accreditation process and Appendix 2 describes the steps now

involved in requesting a LAP under these amended

NVLAP Procedures.

3
Appendix 1:

Current Accreditation Process

Requesting NVLAP Accreditation. NVLAP accreditation is offered only for those test methods identi- fied under the established LAPs. A request for a NVLAP application for accreditation should be

addressed to the Manager, Laboratory Accreditation,

National Bureau of Standards, TECH B06, Washington, DC 20234; telephone: (301) 921-2368.

Application Package. The application package

includes an application form with a test method se- lection list and fee schedule, and a guide to the re- quirements for accreditation. Fees. All fees must be paid before any initial decision of accreditation is made. Failure to pay renewal

fees on a timely basis will lead to automatic expiration of accreditation at the end of the laboratory's current accreditation period.

Enrollment. After payment of the required fees, the laboratory is scheduled for an on-site laboratory visit and is notified of any additional written in- formation which must be supplied, and of any applicable proficiency testing requirements which must be

completed, for the evaluation.

Basic Conditions for Accreditation. In order for a laboratory to be accredited under the NVLAP pro- cedures, it shall agree in writing to the following basic

conditions:

(1) Be examined and audited, initially and on a continuing basis; (2) Pay accreditation fees and charges;

(3) Avoid reference by itself and forbid others

utilizing its services from referencing its NVLAP accredited status in consumer media

and in product advertising or on product la- bels, containers and packaging or the contents

therein, or in any other way which might con- vey the concept of product certification by DOC

(Note: A NVLAP accredited laboratory may

advertise its accredited status on its letterhead,

brochures, and test reports as well as in trade

publications and other laboratory services

advertising media.);

(4) Maintain compliance with applicable general

and specific criteria and with applicable re- quirements of the NVLAP Procedures (15 CFR

Parts 7a, 7b, and 7c); (5) Participate in proficiency testing that may

be required for attaining or maintaining

accreditation.

Criteria. The NVLAP criteria for evaluating laboratories, which are described in sections 7a. 19—7a. 30

of the NVLAP Procedures (15 CFR Part 7a), address

a laboratory's organizational structure, technical

management, professional and ethical business

practices, and system for assuring the quality of test results. The criteria also address aspects of a labo- ratory directly related to the reliable performance

of each test method for which the laboratory desires

accreditation, including staff competence and training, facilities and equipment, test plans, calibration

procedures, record keeping, data handling procedures, and quality control checks and audits. On-site Visits. Regularly scheduled on-site visits are conducted to assess a laboratory's compliance

with the NVLAP criteria. In addition, monitoring

visits of limited scope are used to assure that accredited laboratories continue to comply with the criteria or to resolve any testing problems that an accredited

laboratory may appear to have. The on-site assessor

will conduct an exit interview with the laboratory's

management at the conclusion of an on-site visit to summarize his or her findings. A written report is prepared by the NVLAP assessor after each on-site

visit. Each laboratory is notified when deficiencies are identified and is given an opportunity to correct them before formal accreditation recommendations

are prepared or any action to revoke accreditation is commenced. The laboratory shall permit the on-site assessor to review and examine any records or other

documents required by the criteria. Also, if a hearing under 5 U.S.C. 556 has been instituted under the

NVLAP Procedures, the laboratory shall permit DOC

personnel to review and copy any records or other

documents required by the criteria. Failure of the laboratory to cooperate with the on-site assessor will be grounds for adverse accreditation action. Proficiency Testing. Proficiency testing is an in- tegral part of the NVLAP accreditation process. Of

utmost importance to the user of laboratory services

is information as to whether or not a laboratory consistently obtains reliable results. While the existence of

facilities, equipment, and personnel which meet the

criteria establish a laboratory's overall capability

to obtain good results, for certain test methods an

analysis of actual test results is also necessary to determine if the overall capability does in fact pro- duce the desired results. A laboratory's failure to participate fully in the conduct of required proficiency

testing may also be grounds for adverse accreditation action. Evaluation and Recommendations. A team of

evaluators composed primarily of peers in the applicable testing areas uses the following inputs to review

each laboratory:

(1) Written information supplied by the laboratory;

(2) Results of proficiency testing; and

(3) Written reports of on-site visits to the lab- oratory.

If deficiencies are identified, the laboratory is given

written notification of them, and a reasonable period

(ordinarily 30 days) in which to correct or resolve

4
them. After further review of the above inputs and

the laboratory's response to any notification of

deficiencies, the team will make an accreditation

recommendation for the laboratory.

Accreditation Decision. Based on these recommendations, a decision is made whether to grant or deny initial accreditation for new laboratories or renewal for previously accredited laboratories. When

decided, the laboratory is notified by letter of its accreditation status. If accreditation denial is pro- posed, the notification states the reason. Appeals. A laboratory for which denial of accreditation is proposed has 30 days from the date of re- ceipt of the notification to request a hearing. The

notification will identify to whom a request for a hearing should be sent. If a hearing is not requested,

the denial becomes final. If a hearing is requested, it

is held pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556. Accreditation Period. Laboratories are granted

accreditation for one year with individual laboratory anniversary dates occurring on the first of January, April, July, or October. A laboratory will be

assigned only one anniversary date which will be clos- est to the time that its evaluation is completed and

which assures that the accreditation period is a mini- mum of one year. Accreditation Renewal. Each accredited laboratory

is sent a renewal application form before its current accreditation expires (anniversary date). The lead

time will be sufficient to complete the evaluation

for renewal for the following year. The laboratory

may use the renewal application form to add or drop

test methods from its current accreditation.

Termination. Any accredited laboratory may voluntarily terminate its accreditation at any time. This

option may be used by a laboratory for any reason. Revocation. If the Secretary of Commerce (or

designee) finds that an accredited laboratory has

violated the terms of its accreditation, the laboratory

may be notified of the proposed revocation of its accreditation, after a thorough consultation. As

in the case of a denial, the laboratory has 30 days in which to appeal a proposed revocation by requesting a hearing. A proposed revocation will identify to whom a request for a hearing should be sent. If the

hearing is not requested, the revocation becomes final. If a hearing is requested, it is held pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556. Public Notification. Accreditation actions are published in the Federal Register within 30 days of such

action and in NVLAP quarterly and annual reports.

Compliance with Existing Laws. NVLAP accreditation does not relieve the laboratories from the

necessity of observing and complying with existing

Federal, State, and local statutes, ordinances, or regulations that may be applicable to its operations, in- cluding consumer protection and antitrust laws.

Appendix 2:

Requesting a LAP

Part 7a Procedures. The major steps involved in establishing a LAP under the Part 7a procedures

are:

(1) DOC receives a formal request to establish a LAP;

(2) DOC contacts other parties which may have

an interest in or be affected by the proposed

LAP;

(3) DOC decides on the priority of the request;

(4) DOC publishes in the FEDERAL REGISTER

for public comment a preliminary finding of

need for the proposed LAP;

(5) If there is substantial support for establishing

the LAP, DOC publishes a final finding of need.

If not, a withdrawal of the preliminary find- ing is published;

(6) Workshops are arranged to receive expert advice needed to implement the LAP;

(7) DOC publishes in the FEDERAL REGISTER

a notice of the establishment of the LAP and

invites interested laboratories to apply for

accreditation.

Part 7b and 7c Procedures. Similarly, for the

optional procedures for use by Federal agencies (15

CFR Part 7b) and the optional procedures for use by

private sector organizations (15 CFR Part 7c), the major steps are:

(1) A Federal agency (Part 7b) or qualified pri- vate sector organization (Part 7c) requests a LAP and cites the basis upon which it deter- mined the need;

(2) DOC contacts other parties which may have

an interest in or be affected by the proposed

LAP;

(3) DOC decides on the priority of the request;

(4) DOC publishes in the FEDERAL REGISTER

the request for the LAP asking that any comments regarding the need for the LAP be di- rected to the requestor with a copy forwarded

to DOC;

(5) If after a 60 day period both DOC and the re- questor agree to proceed, workshops may be

arranged to acquire expert advice needed to implement the LAP; and

(6) DOC publishes in the FEDERAL REGISTER

a notice of the establishment of the LAP and

invites interested laboratories to apply for

accreditation.

NBS TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

PERIODICALS

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH—The Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards reports NBS research and develop- ment in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Bureau is active. These include physics, chemistry,

engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement

methodology and the basic technology underlying standardization. Also included from time to lime are survey articles on topics

closely related to the Bureau's technical and scientific programs. As a special service to subscribers each issue contains complete

citations to all recent Bureau publications in both NBS and non- NBS media. Issued six times a year. Annual subscription; domestic

$18; foreign $22.50. Single copy, $4.25 domestic; $5.35 foreign.

NONPERIODICALS

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on

various subjects related to the Bureau's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with in- terested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory

bodies. Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NBS, NBS annual reports, and other special publications

appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and

bibliographies.

Applied Mathematics Series—Mathematical tables, manuals, and

studies of special interest to physicists, engineers, chemists,

biologists, mathematicians, computer programmers, and others engaged in scientific and technical work.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on the physical and chemical properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NBS under

the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public Law

90-396).

NOTE; The principal publication outlet for the foregoing data is the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD)

published quarterly for NBS by the American Chemical Society

(ACS) and the American Institute of Physics (AlP). Subscriptions,

reprints, and supplements available from ACS, 1 155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC 20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical \r. developed at the Bureau on building materials, compo.nciui,

systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results,

test methods, and performance criteria related to the structural and

environmental functions and the durability and safety characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NBS under the sponsorship of other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures

published by the Department of Commerce in Part 10, Title 15, of

the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized requirements for products, and provide ail concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of the characteristics of the products. NBS administers this program as a supplement to the activities of the private sector standardizing

organizations. Consumer Information Series—Practical information, based on NBS research and experience, covering areas of interest to the con- sumer. Easily understandable language and illustrations provide

useful background knowledge for shopping in today's technological marketplace. Order the above NBS puhlicalions from: Superintendent of Documents. Government Printing Office. Wa.<;hington. DC 20402. Order the following NBS publication.':— FIPS and NBSIR's—from

the National Technical Information Services, Springfield. VA 22161
