Abstract:	Accreditation relies on a third party statement based on a decision after a review of a laboratories formally demonstrated competence to carry out specific laboratory tasks. A Dimensional Laboratory should operate a management system, be technically competent, and generate technically competent results to be accredited. The process of becoming accredited provides a roadmap and opportunity for a laboratory to bring the two best elements together to improve. 1. Motivated People 2. Empowered People. The paper and presentation submitted outlines the roadmap and opportunity.
