The NELAC Institute
The NELAC Institute (TNI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting "the generation of environmental data of known and documented quality through an open, inclusive, and transparent process that is responsive to the needs of the community."[1] The founders' long-term motivation behind the creation of the NIC was to enact a "uniform, rigorous, and robust" nationwide environmental laboratory and monitoring accreditation program.[1] This accreditation program exists today in the form of the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program
NELAP is an accreditation program targeted at environmental laboratories. The laboratory and accreditation body standards for the program are modeled after sections of ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17011.[2]
