Accreditation

PTL is accredited for testing carpet and carpet cushion through an ongoing program of the U.S. Government called the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). NVLAP is a U.S. Government entity administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the Department of Commerce. NVLAP requires compliance to ISO/IEC 17025 as the basis for the accreditation of testing laboratories. Laboratories that comply fully and are found competent to carry out specific test, are formally accredited for those tests.
