Recognizing Private Sector Laboratories that Accurately Analyze Paint chips, Dust, or Soil Samples for Lead

National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP): An EPA program that defines the minimum requirements and abilities that a laboratory must meet to attain EPA recognition as an accredited lead testing laboratory. EPA established NLLAP to recognize laboratories that demonstrate the ability to accurately analyze paint chips, dust, or soil samples for lead. Fixed-site laboratories, mobile laboratories, and testing firms that operate portable equipment are all eligible to obtain EPA recognition under NLLAP. Details are available here.
