New! R18-08
August 15, 2008: The latest version of AASHTO R18 is now available for use. R18 provides guidance to testing laboratories in the establishment and implementation of a quality management system. All AASHTO-accredited laboratories must be in compliance with the requirements of this standard. Improvements to R18-08 include better formatting for easier reading and more detailed explanations of requirements. Several previous requirements have been removed, while a few others have been added. Section 8 of the revised standard includes a summary of the changes. AMRL will soon begin enforcing the requirements of AASHTO R18-08. To view the standard, go to the AASHTO Accreditation tab and click on the R18 link in the Documents section.

Saybolt Viscosity Accreditation Change
May 22, 2008: The AASHTO Accreditation Program Directory listings will separate the Saybolt Viscosity tests performed at each temperature to indicate that laboratories can successfully demonstrate the test methods at both 25°C and 50°C. This change will take place after each laboratory receives its 27th Tour On-Site Assessment. Laboratories that only have “Saybolt Viscosity” listed on the directory can be assumed to not have had their 27th Tour On-Site Assessment yet.
