DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP)

Laboratories seeking to perform testing in support of the Defense Environmental Restoration Program must be accredited in accordance with DoD ELAP requirements. Participation in the program is open to all qualified laboratories. It applies to permanent, temporary, and mobile laboratories regardless of their size, volume of business, or type of environmental field of accreditation, that generate definitive data. Laboratories may seek accreditation for any method it performs in accordance with documented procedures, including non-standard methods.

The Department of Defense established the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) in October 2009 to provide a unified DoD program through which laboratories can demonstrate competency and document conformance to the international standard ISO/IEC 17025, TNI requirements and the current version of the DoD QSM. IAS is recognized as a Non-Governmental Accreditation Body by TNI.

The DoD EDQW page recognizes IAS, to conduct laboratory assessments and issue accreditations on behalf of the DoD.
