Program-Specific Handbooks and Lab Bulletins The NVLAP Program-Specific Handbooks and Lab Bulletins are available as documents. To view these documents, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader loaded on your computer. You may download this viewer for free on all platforms from the Adobe Acrobat web site. Lab Bulletins that are specific to a Laboratory Accreditation Program (LAP) are listed across from their associated handbooks. A Lab Bulletin is used to inform laboratories of program additions and changes, and to provide clarification of program-specific requirements. A bulletin should be inserted into the appropriate Program-Specific Handbook until the handbook is revised, at which time the bulletin will be incorporated into the handbook. If you are unable to load and use Adobe Acrobat Reader, please e-mail NVLAP at NVLAP@nist.gov, or call NVLAP at (301) 975-4016. NOTICE: Please see Transmittal Letter Re: Release of NIST Handbook 150:2006, including Plan for Transition to New Requirements for important information about the release of NIST Handbook 150:2006 and the updating of the program-specific handbooks.
