Hatfield, PA, June 29, 2009 -- Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) has been re-accredited for Nondestructive Testing by PRI/Nadcap (Performance Review Institute’s industry-managed program for special processes in the aerospace industry). The scope of accreditation covers liquid penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, and ultrasonic inspection methods. The new certificate is valid through January 31, 2011.

Accreditation was first awarded to LTI for nondestructive testing in 1992. Laboratory Testing also has been PRI/Nadcap accredited in materials testing since 1993. The materials testing certificate covers chemical testing, mechanical testing, metallography, microhardness, corrosion, hardness and specimen machining services. Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 was added in 2000. The current accreditations for materials testing and ISO/IEC 17025 are valid through April 30, 2008. Copies of all three PRI/Nadcap certificates are available at the Lab Testing website, www.labtesting.com/resources.php.
