PTI’s various standards and accreditations for EMI testing and reliability testing in Texas:
NVLAP
PTI is accredited with the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). NVLAP is an accreditation seal provided ultimately by the US Government.
NVLAP was established in 1976 by the US government to provide a uniform way of ensuring the competence of testing laboratories and to provide an infrastructure of consistent testing standards for international compliance. The rules of NVLAP procedures are listed in 15 CFR Part 285. NVLAP operates an accreditation system that is compliant with ISO/IEC 17011: “Conformity assessment – general requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies”. ISO/IEC 17011 requires that the competence of applicant laboratories be assessed by the accreditation body against all of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025- general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
Overview of NVLAP Accreditations

IECEE CB Scheme
PTI has been assessed and determined to fully comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025: 2005-05, The basic rules, IECEE 01: 2008-11 and Rules of Procedure IECEE 02: 2008-10, and the relevant IECEE CB-Scheme Operational Documents. PTI is therefore entitled to operate as an SA Testing Laboratory under the responsibility of NEMKO AS as a National Certification Body and to carry out testing within the IECEE CB Scheme.
The product categories and standards for which PTI are approved can be found on the IECEE Website here: http://www.iecee.org.
