United States Department of Defense Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program ( DoD ELAP )

L-A-B DoD Accreditation Program

(L-A-B: Fort Wayne, IN) - Laboratory Accreditation Bureau is proud to announce another recognized L-A-B Program by a Specifier in the United States.  L-A-B DoD ELAP requirements encompass the United States Department of  Defense (DOD) Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP).

On April 1, 2009, at the DoD Environmental Monitoring & Data Quality Workshop held in San Antonio the Chair of the DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) announced that the DoD ELAP is relying on the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) arrangement to implement the DoD ELAP laboratory accreditations. United States-based, ILAC-recognized Accreditation Bodies were invited to apply for this special recognition.

L-A-B has been recognized by the DoD EDQW to provide Accreditation for environmental testing laboratories that perform testing in support of the DoD environmental restoration (ER) programs.  The DoD EDQW has unified minimum management systems requirements for environmental laboratories that intend to perform work for the Department of Defense across the Components (Navy, Army, Air Force), by publishing the DoD Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories (DoD QSM). The DOD QSM Version 4 is based on the 2003 NELAC Requirements, ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and the DoD Gray Box Requirements.
