# §285.10. Renewal of accreditation.

- (a) An accredited laboratory must submit both its application for renewal and fees to NVLAP prior to expiration of the laboratory's current accreditation to avoid a lapse in accreditation.
- (b) On-site assessments of currently accredited laboratories are performed in accordance with the procedures in [§ 285.7](/cfr/15/285.7.md). If nonconformities are found during the assessment of an accredited laboratory, the laboratory must follow the procedures set forth in [§ 285.7(e)(2)](/cfr/15/285.7.md?p=e-2) or face possible suspension or revocation of accreditation.
