The Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute-Laboratory Accreditation Program (GAI-LAP) is one of five individual institutes created to accredit laboratories affiliated with geosynthetic testing. The GAI framed the accreditation programs around the following three international known standards; ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems-Requirements, ISO 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories and ISO 17011 Conformity Assessment. The program is intended to ensure 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.
