NVLAP Accreditation

What is NVLAP Accreditation?

NVLAP – Stands for National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program

The National Voluntary Accreditation Program operates as an independent third party whose purpose is to accredit testing and calibration laboratories. National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST Handbook 150 sets forth the procedures and requirements a laboratory must meet to be accredited. Under the NAVLAP program a laboratory must demonstrate that they operate an appropriate management system, are technically competent, and are able to generate technically valid results.

The program provides an unbiased third-party evaluation and recognition of performance, as well as technical competence.

What are the benefits of NVLAP Accreditation?

Benefits include Market Advantage, Consistency of Operations, Increased Awareness, and Process Improvement

International standards-based accreditation programs, such as NVLAP, rely on a uniform recognized approach to determine competence, promote mutual recognition among accrediting bodies, and support increased acceptance of export goods in international markets. NVLAP, because of its close working relationship with the NIST laboratories, is widely recognized and respected as a technically sound and rigorous accreditation program.

Customers respect an independently administered, internationally recognized accreditation program provides a more organized operating environment and constancy across their suppliers. This is especially true in the Pharmaceutical industry.

All others being equal, an accredited laboratory will obtain the business before non-accredited laboratory.

What is the NVLAP accreditation process?

A company’s Quality Management Systems or QMS defines the organization’s policies, procedures and internal requirements that ensure customer requirements, regulatory and industry requirements are consistently met, resulting in customer satisfaction and reduce organizational risk.

The QMS include:

• Customer contracts
• Employee training
• Production and delivery of products and services
• Selection and management of suppliers
• Internal quality audits
• Monitoring and measuring effectiveness
• Continual improvement
• Corrective and Preventative Action
• Work Instruction to conduct technical validation or product

An effective Quality Management Systems will define the critical processes, set system controls, monitor performance of its processes and demonstrate continual improvement.
