NVLAP(National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) 美國實驗室認證組織是由美國官方根據聯邦法典CFR,授權由NIST(United States Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology) 管理的、負責測試與校準實驗室認可工作的國家實驗室認可機構。其依據ISO/IEC17025標準對實驗室進行認可。
在美國現在已有超過800個測試和校正實驗室通過NVLAP(National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program)認可,NVLAP是NIST下的一個獨立運作組織,NVLAP是依據ISO/IEC 17025、NIST Handbook 150及部份技術規範所成立的。
