Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) was published on September 24, 2020. Title 15, part 285 of the Code of Federal Regulations was first published on February 25, 1976 to establish the procedures and general requirements under which NVLAP operates as an unbiased third party to accredit both testing and calibration laboratories and has been revised several times. This amendment incorporates revisions necessary to operate in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011:2017, <em>Conformity assessment – Requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies </em>and ISO/IEC 17025:2017, <em>General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. </em>Further, these revisions include recognition of proficiency testing as an accreditation activity, addition and/or revision of terms, and update of the NVLAP mailing information.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>For questions or additional information, please contact NVLAP at <span class="spamspan"><span class="u">nvlap</span> [at] <span class="d">nist.gov</span></span>. </span></span></p> <p> </p></div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--dynamic-content-list-ou paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="nist-block "> <h2 class="nist-block__title"> <div class="string">Publications</div> </h2> <div class="viewsreference"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="js-view-dom-id-436bad4502af838acc5dda4c93b6bd3c7a28d08680a7ce310ef0ea4db0a2c577"> <div> <article role="article" about="/publications/national-voluntary-laboratory-accreditation-program-nvlap-cryptographic-and-security-2" class="nist-teaser"> <div class="nist-teaser__content-wrapper"> <header> <h3 class="nist-teaser__title"><a href="/web/20230314214434/https://www.nist.gov/publications/national-voluntary-laboratory-accreditation-program-nvlap-cryptographic-and-security-2"><span>National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Cryptographic and Security Testing</span> </a></h3> <div class="nist-teaser__date"> <div class="daterange"><time datetime="2022-09-13T12:00:00Z">September 13, 2022</time> </div> </div> <div class="nist-teaser__type"> <div class="nist-field nist-field--label-inline text-long"> <div class="nist-field__label">Author(s)</div> <div class="nist-field__item"><span class="nist-author">Bradley Moore</span>, <span class="nist-author">James F.
