PEL Biannual Audit is Complete!

We have great news! It’s been a grueling process, but PEL Laboratories has just been re-accredited! Our staff are often asked by citizens of the community about our accreditation process through NVLAP: what does that mean for us and the client when it comes to the quality and validity of our work?

To clarify, the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program(NVLAP) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) program in the United States. It provides an unbiased third-party test and evaluation program to accredit laboratories in their respective fields in adherence to the ISO 17025 standard. 

NVLAP-accredited laboratories 600205-0 go through an on-site RE-accreditation process every 2 years. It’s a process that takes two whole days! Starting early in the morning, it can take several hours to conclude. An NVLAP official will come to the lab and will go through a large checklist to make sure laboratories are in compliance with the official standards. The official evaluates the laboratory's procedures and technical documents, conduct an on-site assessment, and gives all analysts a proficiency test to ensure the validity and accuracy of your analyses. For example, can you demonstrate your proficiency with a microscope? Yes? Check it off the list.

PEL Labs just finished our on-site audit in September of 2020 with flying colors! If that doesn’t show our dedication to serving you with the highest quality, we don’t know what will! We would love to have your business at PEL so that we can service all of your hazardous material concerns.
