It is recommended that AAP accreditation should be a key element in the quality assurance requirements for laboratories retained to test materials sampled from the SHRP Long Term Pavement Performance sections. Six proficiency testing programs have been authorized: asphalt concrete cores; asphalt concrete laboratory molded specimens; portland cement concrete cores; soil type I; soil type II; soil, moisture. Programs 1, 4, and 5 are concerned with resilient modulus (MR) testing. Program 2 is concerned with diametral MR testing. Program 3 involved compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, static modulus, and poisson's ratio tests on portland cement concrete cores. Program 6 was concerned with moisture content tests on granular and cohesive soil samples.
