NLLAP stands for which term?

• A. National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program
• B. National Laboratory Lead Accreditation Protocol
• C. National Lead Licensing and Accreditation Program
• D. National Lead Lab Analysis Program

Answer: (A)

NLLAP stands for National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program. This is the EPA program that accredits laboratories to perform lead analysis on environmental samples—such as paint, dust, and soil—for regulatory and health purposes. Accreditation ensures labs demonstrate the necessary competence, quality systems, and proficiency through ongoing testing and QA/QC requirements, so their results are reliable for lead paint inspections, risk assessments, and regulatory actions. The other options don’t reflect the official name: they either reorder the words or add licensing or a more generic “lab analysis” term that isn’t used for this EPA program.
