Solid State Lighting Proficiency Testing Notice

Effective June 1, 2011, all new applicant labs applying for NVLAP accreditation to IES LM-79, or existing NVLAP-accredited laboratories requesting addition of IES LM-79 to their scopes of accreditation, will be invoiced for a proficiency testing fee of $2,800.00. Until that date, the fee is covered by the Department of Energy (DoE). If your laboratory has already participated in solid state (SSL) proficiency testing through NIST/NVLAP, a fee is not required to add sections of IES LM-79.
