Background

    Section 231(b) of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002 (52 
U.S.C. 20971(b)) requires that the EAC provide for the accreditation 
and revocation of accreditation of independent, non-federal 
laboratories qualified to test voting systems to Federal standards.
    In order to meet its statutory requirements under HAVA Sec.  
20971(b), the EAC has developed the EAC's Voting System Test Laboratory 
Accreditation Program. The procedural requirements of the program are 
established in the EAC Voting System Test Laboratory Accreditation 
Program Manual. Although participation in the program is voluntary, 
adherence to the program's procedural requirements is mandatory for 
participants.
