The TNI National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Board Update Daniel Hickman, NELAP Board Chair

NELAP Board Membership  One representative and one alternate from each NELAP-recognized Accrediting Body.  Each representative and alternate is officially appointed by the Accreditation Body to represent their state program.  A chairperson is selected by the members of the NELAP Board.  Program administrator to help with administrative functions.

NELAP Board The purpose of the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) is to establish and implement a program for the accreditation of environmental laboratories. The primary components of this program are:  The recognition of accreditation bodies,  The adoption of acceptance limits for proficiency testing developed in the Proficiency Testing (PT) Program, and  The adoption of the laboratory accreditation system developed in the Laboratory Accreditation System Program (LASP).

NELAP Board Progress  Assembled representatives from each AB.  Selected chairperson  Drafted and finalized Board charter.  Drafted and implemented the Voting SOP to include provision for AB veto when regulation prohibits implementation.  Updated “Accrediting Authority” to “Accreditation Body” nomenclature to align better with ISO language.

NELAP Board Progress  Drafted and implemented the organizational and meetings SOP and guidelines.  Voted to grant TNI NELAP recognition to ABs based on NELAC evaluation  Agreed as a pro tem solution, because of time constraints, to adopt existing NELAC policies and SOPs for accreditation and recognition, with minor changes, for the current round to allow the Laboratory Accreditation System to develop and recommend a new system.

NELAP Board Progress  Approved the TNI NELAP recognition Certificate.  Worked with the Advocacy Committee to ensure EPA regional involvement in the evaluation process.  Completed the review and update of the SOP covering evaluation and recognition of ABs.

NELAP Board Progress  Completed and approved the job description for the Evaluation Coordinator.  Negotiated Evaluation Coordinator workload split between Lynn Bradley and Carol Batterton.  Delegated some of the jobs of the NELAP director to the NELAP Board chair.  Collected TNI AB recognized Fields of Accreditation (Matrix-Technology).

NELAP Board Progress  Revised and posted renewal application and checklists  Voted to accept the FoPT tables as recommended by the PT Board  Reviewed and recommended changes to the standards interpretation policy as forwarded by LASC.  Approved implementation of multiple concentrations for the Soil PTs  Identified the Lead Evaluator and evaluation team members

NELAP Board Progress  Sent renewal application letters to 9 ABs.  Reviewed and approved the evaluation team training materials.  Held the first TNI Accreditation Body recognition training.
