PREFACE

The Commerce Department's National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is a program to improve the reliability of laboratory measurements through transfer of measurement

technology. Critical elements of test methods are identified along with precision and accuracies expected

from the methods v/hen measurements are made. Proficiency testing and interlaboratory comparisons

contribute to improved test methods and laboratory performance.

This seventh annual report provides information on the activities of the National Bureau of Standards

(NBS) in carrying out NVLAP during calendar year 1983. Voluntary participation by the Nation's

laboratories remains stable and several new accreditation programs requested by government agencies and

private organizations are in the final stages of development.

The accredited laboratories have been found competent to perform the specific tests shown in Part II, the Directory of Accredited Laboratories. They have the skilled people, necessary facilities and equipment,

and documentation and quality control procedures to produce quality testing data. We recommend that consideration be given to the use of these laboratories whenever their accredited testing capabilities satisfy

testing needs.

NVLAP has also provided the basis for acceptance by other countries of test data produced by

laboratories in the United States through development of international guidelines for this purpose. We shall continue to work toward liberalizing the means to satisfying trade requirements whenever possible.

Report of Program Activities

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) continued accreditation of

laboratories in 1983 under the following laboratory

accreditation programs (LAPs).

Thermal Insulation Materials (Insulation LAP)

Freshly Mixed Field Concrete (Concrete LAP)

Carpet (Carpet LAP)

Solid Fuel Room Heaters (Stove LAP)

Acoustical Testing Services (Acoustics LAP)

As of December 31, 1983, 97 laboratories were

accredited by NVLAP. Eleven laboratories were

accredited in more than one LAP. Seventeen

laboratories were accredited for the first time, and

18 laboratories voluntarily terminated their participation in NVLAP.

Fees for accrediting processors of personnel

radiation dosimeters and formal announcement of

the Dosimetry LAP were published on July 28, 1983. Accreditation of processors will begin in 1984. A proposed LAP for window and door testing was withdrawn on April 14, 1983, when the

affected industry indicated it would develop its own program to accredit laboratories. A final finding of need was published on September 30,

1983, for a photographic film LAP requested by the

Association for Information and Image Management, and a workshop will be held in May, 1984 to

select test methods for this LAP. A final finding of

need was published on October 5, 1983, for a commercial products LAP requested by the

International Coalition for Procurement Standards.

A public hearing on a pressure calibration services

LAP was held on October 19, 1983. A final finding

of need will be published early in 1984. A LAP for activated carbon testing, requested by ASTM

Committee D28, was announced on October 27,

1983, and final action will be taken on it in 1984. The electromagnetic calibration LAP was suspen- ded on November 18, 1983, because of lack of funds

for development of a measurement assurance program deemed necessary by NBS calibration

experts in order for the LAP to provide

accreditation at the desired measurement accuracy. A proposed LAP for testing portable fire extinguishers is being withdrawn because of oral

comments at a public hearing on November 29,

1983, and written comments generally opposed to the establishment of the LAP.

A memorandum of understanding to provide

mutual recognition of NVLAP and the National

Physical Laboratory (NPL) of the United Kingdom

was signed on October 20, 1983, by Dr. Ernest Ambler, Director of the National Bureau of

Standards and Dr. Paul Dean, Director of NPL.

NVLAP is increasing efforts to provide

information to all potential system users about

existing LAPs. Users include laboratories seeking

accreditation and clients of laboratories seeking

verification of a laboratory's competence through

accreditation.

The Appendix to Part I of this report lists the

major publications issued by NVLAP during 1983. Part II of this report is a directory of all laboratories accredited under NVLAP as of the

date of issue. The accredited laboratories are listed alphabetically, and are cross-referenced by test method for each LAP and by state.

2. ESTABLISHED LABORATORY

ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS

Laboratories were accredited by NVLAP under

the Insulation, Concrete, Carpet, Stove, and

Acoustics programs during 1983. Administrative

actions implementing the Dosimetry LAP began in July anticipating evaluation and accreditation in 1984 of laboratories applying for that new program.

Insulation LAP

The LAP for thermal insulation materials testing

has 62 test methods for which a laboratory can seek

accreditation. As of April 1, 1984, 34 laboratories were accredited to perform those test methods.

Eighteen on-site visits were made during the year

to accredited laboratories or those seeking

accreditation. The eighth and ninth rounds of

proficiency testing for insulation test methods

involving thermal conductivity, settled density, and

flammability properties were completed. A

NVLAP Tech Brief reporting the proficiency

testing results of Round 7 was issued in March,

1983 and a Tech Brief reporting the results of

1
Round 8 was issued in May, 1983. The results of

Round 9 will be issued in 1984.

Concrete LAP

The LAP for freshly mixed concrete testing has seven test methods covering field testing and

laboratory testing. As of April 1, 1984, 38

laboratories were accredited to perform those test methods. Twenty-six on-site visits were made

during the year to accredited laboratories or those

seeking accreditation. Results of the Concrete LAP

between-laboratory proficiency testing program

were issued in a February, 1983 Tech Brief. Results

of the within-laboratory proficiency testing

program were issued in November, 1983.

Carpet LAP

The LAP for carpet testing has 12 test methods

for which a laboratory can seek accreditation. As of

April 1, 1984, 23 laboratories were accredited to perform those test methods. The Department of

Housing and Urban Development uses test results produced by these laboratories as part of its carpet

certification program. Five on-site visits were made

during the year to accredited laboratories or those

seeking accreditation. The sixth and seventh rounds

of proficiency testing were completed for carpet

test methods involving colorfastness, pile weight,

pile thickness, strength, and flammability properties.

A Tech Brief reporting the results of Round 6 and

summarizing the results of Rounds 1 through 6, was

issued in April, 1983. The results of Round 7 will be

issued early in 1984.

Stove LAP

The LAP for solid fuel room heaters has 20 test methods, arranged in three groups: (1) a physical/fire test group, (2) a mobile home test group, and (3) an electrical test group, for which a laboratory can seek accreditation. A laboratory

may be accredited in any or all of the options. As of

April 1, 1984, 10 laboratories were accredited to perform those test methods. Six on-site visits were made during the year to accredited laboratories or

those seeking accreditation. Round 1 of proficiency

testing for stove test methods, involving radiant

brand and flash fire tests, was completed. A Tech

Brief reporting the results of this first round was

issued in February, 1983. Round 2 is in progress and will be reported in 1984.

Acoustics LAP

The LAP for acoustical testing services has 50

test methods for which a laboratory can seek

accreditation. As of April 1, 1984, seven

laboratories were accredited to perform those test methods. Seven on-site visits were made during the

year to laboratories seeking accreditation. Data

have been collected from participating laboratories

for Round 1 of proficiency testing for ASTM test method C 423-81. A Tech Brief reporting the

results of this first round will be issued in 1984.

Dosimetry LAP

Fees for accrediting processors of personnel

radiation dosimeters and formal announcement of

this new LAP were published in the Federal

Register on July 28, 1983 (48 FR 34315-34318).

The LAP for personnel dosimetry processors has

eight radiation test categories for which a laboratory can seek accreditation. As of April 1, 1984, 27 processors have applied for accreditation

in those test categories. Applicants will participate

in proficiency testing and receive on-site assessments in 1984 before accreditation decisions

are made.

Laboratory Participation Summary

The number of laboratories in the system,

categorized by LAP participation is shown below.

3. LAPS UNDER DEVELOPMENT OR

BEING CONSIDERED

Pressure Calibration Services LAP

A pressure calibration services LAP was

requested on April 25, 1983. NBS published a preliminary finding of need in the Federal Register on July 22, 1983 (48 FR 33509-33511), and held

public hearings on the proposed LAP on October

19, 1983, at NBS. Public comments on the LAP

have been received and are being evaluated, and a

final decision will be published in the Federal

Register early in 1984.

Activated Carbon LAP

ASTM Committee D28 on Activated Carbon

requested development of a LAP for activated

carbon testing on September 20, 1983. Since this request was from a private sector organization. Part 7c of the NVLAP procedures was applied. Since

the need had already been established by the

requesting organization, NVLAP did not need to publish preliminary or final findings of need.

An announcement of the LAP was published on

October 27, 1983 in the Federal Register

(48 FR 49685-49687). Public comments will be

reviewed by the ASTM committee and final action

will be taken on this LAP early in 1984 based on

that review.

Commercial Products LAP

The International Coalition for Procurement

Standards (ICPS) requested NVLAP development

of a commercial products LAP for government

procured items (paper, paint, and mattresses) on March 18, 1983. ICPS membership is comprised of

Federal, State, local government, and private sector purchasers. A preliminary finding of need to accredit laboratories that test government procured

commercial items was published in the Federal

Register on May 20, 1983 (48 FR 22771-22775).

Seventeen written statements were filed in response

to the preliminary finding, of which one was

negative. Based on the responses, a final finding of

need was published in the Federal Register on

October 5, 1983 (48 FR 45448-45453).

At present, approximately 60 test methods have

been tentatively proposed for paper and related products, 120 test methods have been proposed for paint and related coatings and materials, and five

test methods have been proposed for mattresses. Laboratories will be invited to seek accreditation in

this LAP early in 1984.

Photographic Film LAP

The Association for Information and Image

Management, Silver Spring, Maryland, requested a LAP for photographic film on March 22, 1983. A

preliminary finding of need, published in the

Federal Register on May 20, 1983 (48 FR 22775-

22777), elicited 27 responses of which one was

negative. A final finding of need was published on

September 30, 1983 (48 FR 44873-44875), and a workshop will be held at NBS in May, 1984 to

select critical factors for each test method and

prepare implementing documentation. Thus far, 26

test methods have been proposed for the film LAP.

Electromagnetic Calibration Services LAP

A LAP for electromagnetic calibration services

has been under consideration since a final finding of

need was published on January 14, 1982 (47 FR

2146-2149). The program was announced on June

30, 1983 (48 FR 30173-30177). A key requirement

for operation of the LAP is implementation of a measurement assurance program (MAP). Sufficient

developmental funds for the MAP could not be

obtained by direct budget appropriations or

collection of fees from applicant laboratories. The

LAP was therefore suspended on November 18, 1983. It will be reinstated if a MAP can be made

financially viable or a satisfactory alternative

approach is found.

Ceramic Tile LAP

The Tile Council of America Inc. (TCA)

requested a LAP for testing ceramic tile and

ceramic tile adhesives on September 20, 1983. Establishment of this LAP is not practical at this time because of the small number of potential

participating laboratories. The NVLAP staff recommended that ASTM Committee C21 be

encouraged to request the LAP under Part 7c

procedures since the Committee oversees the 1

1

ASTM test methods requested. Another approach

might be to include those test methods in a broader

Construction Materials LAP that may be initiated

in 1984.

Window and Door Products LAP

In view of the lack of support for the proposed

window and door products LAP in response to the

preliminary finding of need, NBS announced

withdrawal of this proposed program in the Federal

Register on April 14, 1983 (48 FR 16097-16098).

3
Fire Extinguishers LAP

The State of Florida, Office of State Fire

Marshal, requested a fire extinguisher LAP on June

8, 1983. A preliminary finding of need to accredit

laboratories that test portable fire extinguishers was

published in the Federal Register on October 5, 1983 (48 FR 45453-45455). A public hearing was

held at NBS on November 29, 1983, at which time

a generally negative response to the proposed LAP

was expressed. An announcement of withdrawal of

the preliminary finding of need for this LAP was

issued in the Federal Register on April 2, 1984.

4. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES

International Laboratory

Accreditation Conference (ILAC)

Representatives from NVLAP have participated

in International Laboratory Accreditation Confer- ences since they were first organized in 1977. These

conferences have been valuable to NVLAP because

of insights gained from others operating laboratory

accreditation systems regarding operations,

procedures, problems overcome, and current problems in assessing and accrediting laboratories. Participation in ILAC also provides a basis for

bilateral agreements between accreditation systems

and a forum for presentation of the U.S. position

worldwide with respect to laboratory accreditation.

The Director of the NBS Office of Product

Standards Policy led the 12-member U.S.

delegation, 10 of whom were from the private

sector, to ILAC 83 held during the first week in November. The plenary session resolved to authorize publication of the third version of the

ILAC Directory for 1984. Reports on laboratory

assessors, administrative procedures, post accreditation activities, and proficiency testing were

reviewed and approved. Guidelines for setting

calibration intervals were approved and publication

by the Organization of International Legal

Metrology (OIML) was suggested if arrangements

could be worked out. Analyses of existing

international agreements involving the mutual

acceptance of laboratory accreditation systems and

of test results issued by laboratories accredited

under those systems continued.

New programs authorized included the

development of criteria for acceptance of

proficiency programs, preparation of guidelines on

the form and content for national directories,

criteria for evaluating laboratory accreditation

systems, and analysis of the use of in-house

laboratory test data in accreditation programs.

Bilateral Agreements

On October 20, 1983, Dr. Ernest Ambler,

Director of the National Bureau of Standards and

Dr. Paul Dean, Director of the National Physical

Laboratory of the United Kingdom, signed a memorandum of understanding to provide mutual

recognition of NVLAP and NPL accredited testing laboratories. The NPL program, known as the

National Testing Laboratory Accreditation Scheme

has accredited over 200 laboratories. The

agreement is similar to those signed by NBS with

the New Zealand and Australia national laboratory

accreditation systems which establish reciprocity

between NVLAP and both the New Zealand

Testing Laboratory Registration Council and

Australian National Association of Testing

Authorities (NATA).

5. ADINIINISTRATION 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 delegated the operational responsibility for NVLAP to the

Director of NBS.

Resources

For fiscal year 1983, beginning October 1, 1982,

$698,000 was allocated for NVLAP activities. For

fiscal year 1984, beginning October 1, 1983,

$560,000 has been allocated. During the past year

the staffing level was equivalent to 1 1 full-time persons. A total of $127,900 in fees was paid by

laboratories seeking accreditation to offset the costs associated with their evaluation and accreditation in

fiscal year 1983. NVLAP Procedures Revision

A review of NVLAP procedures was initiated for possible revision leading to a simpler, more

rapid, and economical process for requesting,

evaluating, and implementing new LAPs. Proposed

and final changes will be published in the Federal

Register in 1984.

Laboratory Assessment Personnel

NVLAP used 12 technical experts (TE) to perform on-site assessments, review technical data

4
and documents submitted by the laboratories, and

recommend accreditation actions for the five estabhshed LAPs. Annual fees paid by the

laboratories provide the funds required to perform

laboratory assessments. NBS reimburses the

technical experts for travel, living expenses, and

hourly costs for inspecting laboratories, preparing

reports, and responding to NVLAP requests for technical reviews of proficiency test data and other

documents.

In the Dosimetry LAP for the first time industry

experts will provide their time ,as laboratory

assessors to NVLAP, free of charge. NVLAP's

costs will be limited to travel and living expenses. Currently, 14 new technical experts have been

selected to perform dosimetry laboratory assess- ments.

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 time 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, $5.30 domestic; $6.90 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 lo 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 information developed at the Bureau on building materials, components,

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 all 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 frortt: Superintendent of Documents. Government Printing Office. Washington. DC 20402. Order the following NBS publications —FIPS and NBSIR's—from

the National Technical Information Service. Springfield. VA 22161.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS

PUB)— Publications in this series collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register

serves as the official source of information in the Federal Govern- ment regarding standards issued by NBS pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended.

Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat. 1127), and as implemented by Executive Order 1 1717 (38 FR 12315, dated May II, 1973) and Part 6 of Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NBS Interagency Reports (NBSIR)—A special series of interim or

final reports on work performed by NBS for outside sponsors

(both government and non-government). In general, initial dis- tribution is handled by the sponsor: public distribution is by the National Technical Information Service , Springfield, VA 22161,
