The AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LABORATORY ACCREDITATION (A2LA) is a nonprofit, nongovernmental, public service, membership society dedicated to the formal recognition of competent laboratories and related activities. The mission of A2LA is to provide recognition services in laboratory accreditation, quality system registration and accreditation of inspection bodies.

Accreditation signifies that a laboratory and its quality system have been found to meet the general requirements of ISO/IEC Guide 17025. In addition, accredited Calibration laboratories have been found to meet the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994. Laboratories are accredited in specific fields and, in some cases, specific product areas.
