The Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute-Laboratory Accreditation Program (GAI-LAP) is a test-by-test accreditation program based on site audits and annual proficiency tests. The program is intended to insure that the specific laboratory is capable of properly rendering the tests that they contract to perform. The essence of the program is to accredit geosynthetic testing laboratories for performing consensus standardized test methods insofar as equipment, documentation and testing protocol is concerned.

The following link will direct you to the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute website that details our accreditation information.
