How to Become a NELAP Accreditation Body

Review the Flow Charts TNI has developed to help you.

Become familiar with the 2016 TNI Standard and implement a program to comply with the requirements. You may find it helpful to talk to another state that is already a NELAP�recognized accreditation body. An on-line presentation, Accreditation Body Application and Evaluation, is also available for your information.

Decide on the scope of the accreditation you want to provide.

Read TNI SOP 3-102, Evaluation of Accreditation Bodies (note: this SOP has been approved by the NELAP Accreditation Council; final approval by the TNI Policy Committee is pending. Click here: SOP 3-102.

Complete the Accreditation Body Application Form and the following documents:

Checklist to Determine Accreditation Body Compliance
TNI Matrix/Technology Table (for AB Application, item #13)

Contact the program administrator for application mailing instructions.

At this time, there is no fee required when an application is submitted. However, accreditation body applicants are required to pay travel expenses for evaluators conducting the onsite program assessment.
