Gamma Scientific Laboratory Receives NVLAP Accreditation Under the Energy Efficient Lighting Products Program

San Diego, CA, December 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Gamma Scientific, NVLAP Lab Code 200823-0, has been awarded accreditation by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program under the Energy Efficient Lighting Products Program. This includes LM-79 accreditation for Solid State Lighting Luminaires – Total Flux Measurements (Luminous Efficacy) and Solid State Lighting Luminaires –Luminous Intensity Measurements.

“This is a testament to the experience and dedication of our laboratory staff,” said Richard Austin, President of Gamma Scientific. “The accreditation confirms that our laboratory has the capacity to obtain measurements which meet internationally recognized standards for quality.”

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) administers the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to provide an unbiased third-party evaluation and recognition of performance. NVLAP accreditation signifies that a laboratory has demonstrated that it operates in accordance with NVLAP management and technical requirements pertaining to quality systems; personnel; accommodation and environment; test and calibration methods; equipment; measurement tractability; sampling; handling of test and calibration items; and test and calibration reports.
