PREFACE

This is the sixth annual report of the Commerce Department's National Voluntary Laboratory

Accreditation Program (NVLAP). It provides information for calendar year 1982 about the activities of the

National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in conducting the program and identifies participating testing

laboratories.

Upon request from a testing laboratory, NBS examines its professional and technical competence in specified areas of technology. Based on this assessment NBS accredits testing laboratories to perform tests in the areas of their established competence.

NVLAP benefits laboratories and their users. Laboratories are encouraged to raise their level of

performance and receive recognition of their competence. Laboratory users are assured that laboratories

have the personnel, equipment, procedures, and competence to provide reliable test data. Through bilateral agreements between NBS and laboratory accreditation systems of other countries,

NVLAP helps manufacturers who use accredited testing laboratories to obtain acceptance of their product

overseas. This is important in countries that have governmental controls in their product distribution

system.

Report of Program Activities

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) began two new

Laboratory Accreditation Programs (LAP) during

1982, one for solid fuel room heaters and one for acoustical testing services. During 1982, 7 laboratories were newly accredited and 92

laboratories renewed their accreditation. The

distribution of laboratories included 33 under the

LAP for thermal insulation materials (the

"Insulation LAP"), 46 under the LAP for freshly

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

under the LAP for carpet (the "Carpet LAP"), and

6 in the new LAP for solid fuel room heaters (the

"Stove LAP"). Some laboratories are in more than one LAP. Twenty-one laboratories voluntarily

terminated their accreditation during 1982. Sixtytwo regularly scheduled on-site visits and four

monitoring visits were conducted during the year. Three new LAPs were under development

during 1982 or were being considered for development to accredit:

1) Processors of personnel radiation dosimeters

to serve the needs of the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission and other Federal

and State agencies;

2) Laboratories that test windows and doors

(LAP requested by a private testing

laboratory);

3) Laboratories that provide electromagnetic

calibration services (LAP requested by an

electronics manufacturer).

A total of $741,000 was allocated for NVLAP

activities for fiscal year 1982, no change from fiscal year 1981. A total of $185,900 in fees was

recovered in fiscal 1982 from laboratories seeking

accreditation in order to offset the costs associated

with their evaluation and accreditation. During the

past year, the staffing level was equivalent to 1

1

full-time persons. The National Laboratory Accreditation Advisory

Committee was established by the Secretary of

Commerce in August 1982 and met informally on December 3, 1982. The Committee's function is to advise and make recommendations to the Director

of NBS to improve the effectiveness of NVLAP.

The attendees were particularly interested in reviewing revisions to the NVLAP procedures and

criteria to be developed early in 1983. They

supported international arrangements through the

International Laboratory Accreditation Conference

(ILAC) and the development of international

agreements.

The need for coordination of accreditation

activities at the national level was established at a workshop held at NBS in November, 1981. An

organizational meeting was held in Washington,

DC on September 17, 1982, to consider the

formation of a quasipublic National Laboratory

Accreditation Council (NLAC). Additional

meetings are planned to see if a Council can be

organized. The American National Standards

Institute's (ANSI) Certification Committee on September 21, 1982, appointed a Task Group to study the possible participation of ANSI in the

development of an NLAC.

Based on a Memorandum of Understanding

signed by Dr. Ernest Ambler, Director of the

National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and Mr. E. E. Bond, Chair of the National Association of Testing

Authorities (NATA) of Australia effective in September, 1982, the results of testing laboratories

accepted by these national systems will be

reciprocally recognized. Additional bilateral agreements are being considered with laboratory

accreditation systems in Canada, New Zealand, and

the United Kingdom.

The Appendix to Part I of this report lists the

major publications prepared by the NVLAP staff during 1982. Part II of this report is a directory 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 continued accreditation under the

Insulation, Concrete, Carpet and Stove programs in

1
operation and in 1982 began operation of the

Acoustical Testing Services LAP. Seven

laboratories were newly accredited and 92

laboratories renewed their accreditation. An

alphabetical listing of all accredited laboratories and

the test methods for which each is accredited is provided in Part II, Section 1 of this report.

Twenty-one laboratories voluntarily terminated

their accreditation. At the end of the year, evaluations for initial accreditation of 13 new

applicants were in progress.

Insulation LAP

The LAP for thermal insulation materials had 63

test methods for which accreditation could be

sought. As of December 31, 1982, 33 laboratories were accredited to perform one or more of these

test methods. Thirty regularly scheduled on-site

visits and two monitoring visits to the laboratories were conducted during the year. The sixth and

seventh rounds of proficiency testing for insulation

test methods involving thermal conductivity, settled density, and flammability properties were

conducted. Proficiency testing results are published

in "NVLAP Tech Briefs" (see Appendix for publication dates).

Concrete LAP

Accreditation could be sought for up to seven

test methods involving freshly mixed field concrete. The methods were arranged into two groups which

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

could be requested with either of the two groups. As of the end of 1982, 46 laboratories were

accredited under the Concrete LAP.

Seven regularly scheduled on-site visits and two

monitoring visits to the laboratories were

conducted during the year. The results of the

within-laboratory proficiency program were

published in a NVLAP Tech Brief. The first Tech

Brief for the between-laboratory proficiency

program will be published early in 1983.

Carpet LAP

The LAP for carpet has 12 test methods for which accreditation may be sought. As of

December 31, 1982, 23 laboratories were accredited

for one or more of these test methods. The

Department of Housing and Urban Development

(HUD) uses test results produced by these

laboratories as part of its carpet certification program. Nineteen regularly scheduled on-site visits to the laboratories were conducted during the year. The fourth and fifth rounds of proficiency testing for carpet test methods, involving colorfastness, pile

weight, pile thickness, strength, and flammability

properties, were completed. The summary of

rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 was published in a Tech Brief.

Stove LAP

The notice of formal establishment of a program

for accrediting laboratories that test solid fuel room

heaters was announced in the Federal Register on

April 20, 1982 (47 FR 16823-16827). The LAP for

solid fuel room heaters had 21 test methods for which accreditation could be sought. As of

December 31, 1982, six laboratories were accredited

to perform one or more of these test methods. Six

regularly scheduled on-site visits to the laboratories were conducted during the year.

Acoustics LAP

The formal establishment of a program for laboratories that provide acoustical testing services was announced in the Federal Register on

September 10, 1982 (47 FR 39874-39878). The LAP

for acoustical testing services had 49 test methods

for which accreditation could be sought. There were no laboratories accredited as of December 31, 1982; however, seven laboratories had applied for accreditation. On-site visits were planned for the

laboratories early in 1983. The first accreditation

actions are expected by March 1983.

3. LAPS UNDER DEVELOPMENT OR

BEING CONSIDERED

Personnel Radiation Dosimetry Processors A technical workshop was held at NBS on April

12 and 13, 1982, to establish a uniform basis for the

determination of a processor's compliance with

NVLAP criteria. From the information and

suggestions received, a draft LAP Handbook was

developed and circulated to the industry overview

committee for comments. A request for proposal

for procuring the services of a testing laboratory to conduct the proficiency testing for this LAP was

distributed to potential contractors. The deadline

for submittal of proposal was set for January 14, 1983, with the contract to be awarded in April

1983. In response to a request for nominations of

individuals with professional credentials in personnel dosimetry processing to serve as NVLAP

technical experts, 51 persons indicated interest in serving as assessors. An evaluation of the technical

competence of the potential assessors for use by

NVLAP was initiated. An announcement of the

formal establishment of this LAP is expected during

the second quarter of 1983.

2
Electromagnetic Calibration Services

A final finding of need to establish a LAP for

testing laboratories that provide electromagnetic

calibration services was published in the Federal

Register on January 14, 1982 (47 FR 2146-2149). A

public workshop to discuss the technical

requirements for the LAP was held at NBS,

Boulder, CO on July 1-2, 1982. A draft Handbook

developed as a result of the workshop will be

completed and distributed during the second

quarter of 1983 to interested applicants seeking

accreditation for the LAP. The details for the

proficiency testing and the relationship of a Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) were still to be developed. A notice announcing the formal

establishment of this LAP is expected in the third

quarter of 1983.

Windows and Doors

On January 21, 1982, a Federal Register notice (47

FR 3025-3026) announced a request from HUD to

establish a LAP, under NVLAP procedures for other Federal agencies (15 CFR Part 7b), for

testing laboratories that test windows and doors.

On May 28, 1982 Federal Register notice (47 FR

23509-23510) announced the decision of HUD to withdraw the request to allow other interested

parties to act as proponents of the proposed

program.

NBS received a letter from a private testing

laboratory requesting that NBS, under the NVLAP

"for everyone" (15 CFR, Part 7a), publish a preliminary finding of need to accredit laboratories

that test window and door products. A Preliminary

Finding of Need to Accredit Laboratories That

Test Windows and Door Products was published in the Federal Register on August 24, 1982 (47 FR

36875-36878). The deadline for submission of

comments was October 25, 1982. An analysis of the

comments was initiated. A decision on whether to proceed or withdraw the request for the LAP is anticipated during the first quarter of 1983.

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 delegated the

operational responsibility for NVLAP to the

Director of NBS.

Resources

For fiscal year 1982, beginning October 1, 1981,

$741,000 was allocated for NVLAP activities. For

fiscal year 1983, beginning October 1, 1982,

$698,000 was allocated. During the past year the

staffing level was equivalent to 1 1 full-time persons. A total of $185,900 in fees was recovered in fiscal year 1982 from laboratories seeking accreditation in order to offset the costs associated with their evaluation and accreditation.

National Laboratory Accreditation Advisory

Committee

The Secretary of Commerce announced in the

Federal Register on August 3, 1982 (47 FR 33529)

the establishment of the National Laboratory

Accreditation Advisory Committee (NLAAC). The

Committee's charter was also approved.

The Committee's function is to make

recommendations to the Director of NBS on the

following issues:

1) Ways to simplify and clarify the NVLAP

procedures in order to reduce costs to the

testing laboratories;

2) Informing NBS of the technical requirements

of testing laboratories;

3) Evaluating the interaction of other laboratory

accreditation systems with NVLAP;

4) Reviewing the development of international

accreditation activities and assessing the

impact of accreditation within the United

States; and

5) Other issues which the Committee or other

interested persons recommend to improve

the efficiency of the NVLAP operations.

The Committee consists of approximately 24

members: one-third from Federal, State and local governments; one-third from testing laboratories,

and one-third from users and beneficiaries of testing

laboratories.

At year's end NBS had not yet received formal

clearance for all of the nominees to the Committee.

However, there were a number of important items

relative to the operation of NVLAP which needed

advice from a panel of experts. Therefore, an

informal meeting of NLAAC was held on December 3, 1982, at NBS. The meeting was open

to the public. In attendance were 14 of the

Committee nominees and 17 other interested persons. The agenda for the meeting, published with the

announcement of the meeting in the Federal

Register on November 12, 1982 (47 FR 51177), is shown below:

Agenda: Issues discussed at the meeting include:

1) Consideration of NVLAP accreditation

criteria relative to other accreditation

3
criteria (i.e., ISO Guide 25); 2) Simplification of operating procedures;

3) Review of bilateral agreements;

4) Review and evaluation of program goals for FY 83;

5) Implications of freedom of information

regarding proficiency data;

6) Questions concerning conflict of interest of

assessors;

7) Consideration of the cost for laboratories in more than one LAP; and,

8) Programmatic alternatives to reduce NVLAP

operating costs. An additional issue was submitted by an

accredited testing laboratory for consideration of

the Committee. The issue concerned the need for users of accredited laboratories to know if a specific

laboratory is "independent" or "corporate." The

laboratory submitted, for comments, suggestions for defining an "independent" testing laboratory.

The committee members were asked to render a

specific position by consensus of the group on two

issues concerning the possible conflict-of-interest of

Technical Experts (Agenda Item 6). The two issues and the committee's votes were:

(1) Is it a conflict-of-interest to have an employee

of a HUD approved certifier of carpet serve as a NVLAP on-site assessor of carpet test laboratories?

Vote: The consensus of the group was that there

should be no problem with conflict-of-interest in this case. There was also agreement of the group

that each conflict-of-interest case should be judged

individually as it arises. (2) Does NVLAP have special considerations to watch for if NVLAP uses on-site assessors whose

time is contributed either personally or by their companies? NVLAP would reimburse them for travel and expenses.

Vote: The consensus of the group was that NVLAP should consider the use of contributed

experts to perform the on-site assessments. There were discussions and comments by the

attendees on each of the agenda issues.

National Laboratory Accreditation Council (NLAC)

NBS Special Publication 632, "Laboratory

Accreditation: Future Directions in the United

States," summarizing a workshop held at NBS in November 1981, concludes that the consensus of

participants wanted more coordination of

accreditation activities at the national level. One

suggestion on how to accomplish this was to form a quasi-public NLAC. The objectives of the council,

to be managed by the private sector, would be as follows:

• Provide forums for written and oral exchange

of information on all levels of accreditation

in the United States;

• Develop criteria for comparing or evaluating

laboratory accreditation systems;

• Encourage the recognition of laboratories

among laboratory accreditation systems;

• Encourage use of existing laboratory

accreditation systems where new needs arise;

• Foster consolidation of existing laboratory

accreditation systems; and,

• Develop a basis for reciprocal recognition of

laboratories among national and international

systems.

An organizational meeting of a proposed NLAC

was held in Washington, DC on September 17, 1982. There were 44 persons in attendance at this meeting, 12 from Federal, State or local government, and 32 from the private sector. Additional meetings are planned.

At a meeting of the ANSI Certification

Committee, at ANSI headquarters in New York on September 21, 1982, a discussion was held on the

proposed NLAC. Four members of the

Certification Committee were appointed to a special task force to study the possible organization of an NLAC. It was decided to follow the developments

of the NLAC group at ASTM rather than initiate a separate effort.

Bilateral Agreements

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed

by Dr. Ernest Ambler, Director of the National

Bureau of Standards (NBS) and Mr. E. E. Bond,

Chairman of the Australian National Association of

Testing Authorities (NATA) was completed on

September 24, 1982, to provide mutual recognition

of testing laboratories of these national systems.

The MOU commits each system to:

1) Recognize the accreditation of a testing

laboratory by NATA or NVLAP as being

equivalent to an accreditation by the other.

2) Recognize endorsed test reports issued by a laboratory accredited by NATA or NVLAP

on the same basis as NATA or NBS

recognizes endorsed test reports from its own accredited laboratories.

3) Recommend to other persons and

organizations in their respective nations that such persons and organizations should

recognize the accreditation granted to laboratories by the parties to this MOU as being equivalent to each other's

accreditation.

4) Recommend to other persons and

organizations in their respective nations that such persons and organizations should

accept endorsed test reports issued under the laboratory accreditation system administered

4
by each of the parties to this MOU as being

equivalent to endorsed test reports issued by

laboratories accredited by the other party.

5) Maintain records of the terms of accreditation

of laboratories accredited by each of the

parties to this MOU and make this information generally available.

6) Publish criteria to accredit the laboratories in their own country, maintain on file the other

country's criteria, and collaborate in the

development and adoption of revised criteria for accreditation of testing laboratories to increase harmony between the two

accreditation systems.

7) Agree to reassess their own laboratories on a

regularly scheduled basis and collaborate in the development and adoption of laboratory

examination methods and in particular,

where practical, cooperation in operating

proficiency testing programs.

8) Cooperate in promoting the development and

adoption of laboratory accreditation

principles internationally and in the

development of international standards

relating to laboratory accreditation.

An appendix to the MOU describes specific

differences between laboratory evaluation criteria for each system. In spite of differences in criteria, each party to the agreement agrees that: 1) the resulting

accreditations granted to laboratories are comparable; 2) work will continue toward

eliminating or minimizing differences; and, 3) any

complaints about laboratories the other party has

accredited will be resolved through joint

cooperation.

As part of the agreement, NVLAP and NATA

have exchanged personnel to study the operation of

each system. They have also accompanied assessors

for each system to assist in the on-site assessment of

testing laboratories.

Additional bilateral agreements are being

considered with laboratory accreditation systems in Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United

Kingdom. The agreements are expected to have

language similar to the NATA agreement.

International Laboratory Accreditation Conference

The 6th Annual International Laboratory

Accreditation Conference (ILAC) was held in Tokyo, Japan on October 18-22, 1982. The

Director of the NBS Office of Product Standards

Policy led the U.S. delegation, which included

eight private sector representatives.

Reports from a number of working groups, committees and task forces were reviewed and

included the following:

The second "International Directory of

Laboratory Accreditation Systems and Other

Schemes for Assessment of Testing Laboratories"

"The Selection and Training of Assessors for Testing Laboratory Assessment"

"Assessing and Evaluating Testing Laboratories"

"Suggested Procedures for the Operation of

Proficiency Testing Programs by Laboratory

Accreditation Systems"

"Comparative Analysis of Laboratory

Accreditation Systems"

"Draft Guidelines for Development of a Quality

Manual for Testing Laboratories," and

"Guidelines for the Determination of Calibration

Intervals of Measuring Equipment Used in Testing Laboratories"

Work continues on collecting, analyzing, and

disseminating information concerning bilateral and

other agreements for the reciprocal recognition of

laboratory accreditation systems and mutual

acceptance of test reports.

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, $5.50 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 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 (AIP). 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 tech- nological marketplace. Order the above NBS publications from: 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 11717(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,
