Title: National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program proficiency testing for Thermal Insulation Materials Laboratory Accreditation Program Round 9 - August 1983. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6286092

The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is a federal program which accredits testing laboratories satisfying published criteria. One Laboratory Accreditation Program (LAP) accredits laboratories for thermal insulation materials test methods. Participation in proficiency testing is required for certain test methods including: settled density, smoldering combustion, surface flammability, and thermal conductivity. Analyses and summaries of the test data returned by 30 laboratories for these methods for Insulation LAP Proficiency Testing Round 9 are reported. A description of NVLAP proficiency testing and how it fits into the laboratory evaluation process is given.
