Sec. 285.15  Development of technical requirements.

    (a) Technical requirements for accreditation are specific for each 
LAP. The requirements tailor the criteria referenced in Sec. 285.33 to 
the calibration or test methods, types of calibration or test methods, 
products, services, or standards covered by the LAP.
    (b) NVLAP shall develop the technical requirements based on expert 
advice. This advice may be obtained through one or more informal public 
workshops or other suitable means.
    (c) NVLAP shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that the 
affected calibration or testing community within the scope of the LAP is 
informed of any planned workshop. Summary minutes of each workshop will 
be prepared. A copy of the minutes will be made available for inspection 
and copying at the NIST Records Inspection Facility.
