Sec. 285.18  Adding to or modifying an established LAP.

    (a) Established or developing LAPs may be added to, modified, or 
realigned based on either a written request from any person wishing to 
add or delete specific standards, calibration or test methods, or types 
of calibration or test methods or a need identified by NIST.
    (b) NVLAP may choose to make the additions or modifications 
available for accreditation under a LAP when:
    (1) The additional standards, calibration or test methods, or types 
of calibration or test methods requested are directly relevant to the 
LAP;
    (2) It is feasible and practical to accredit calibration or testing 
laboratories for the additional standards, calibration or test methods, 
or types of calibration or test methods; and
    (3) It is likely that laboratories will seek accreditation for the 
additional standards, calibration or test methods, or types of 
calibration or test methods.
