| AA&E is accredited by National
Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (NELAP)
to conduct environmental testing. This standardized nation-wide
accreditation is recognized throughout the United States,
and is quickly becoming accepted as the industry standard.
NELAP certification requires compliance with EPA approved
methods, as well as standards of business ethics and quality
control/assurance that reach beyond EPA requirements
(Policies).
When NELAP accreditation is not offered for an analytical
method, AA&E complies with the EPA method requirements,
in addition to meeting the NELAP requirements for laboratory
practice. Analysis is subcontracted to a NELAP accredited
laboratory if AA&E does not perform the method in-house.
