This program will be evaluated against the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) reference method.
The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program requires all accredited laboratories performing non-waived testing for Hemoglobin A1C to complete 15 proficiency testing challenges per year.
