The recognition shows that the analytical data produced from any of our asbestos laboratories is always of the highest quality. Because major health and financial decisions are made based on the laboratory results and on the laboratory’s quality system, it is very important that the data produced by the laboratory and its QA system are of the highest quality. EMLab P&K’s NVLAP accreditation is a mark of this capability as an asbestos laboratory,” states Tim Costello, EMLab P&K’s Director of Quality Assurance.
