(A2LA: Frederick, MD) -- The American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) has added the Sustainable Energy Testing Field to its range of accreditation activities. A2LA is currently accepting new applications for accreditation from laboratories that intend to test products designed for sustainable energy production and efficient energy use. In addition, A2LA is working with existing accredited laboratories that wish to modify their current scopes of accreditation to identify activities within this new and emerging field of testing. A2LA has devoted resources to ensuring prompt attention to all interested parties’ needs.

With the recent changes to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program, as well as changes that are expected to come during the next few years from other regulators, such as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), A2LA is taking the lead in the accreditation industry to address this important, growing field of testing.
