Abstract
NIST Handbook 150-20-2005, NVLAP Information Technology Security Testing: Common Criteria, presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the NVLAP Common Criteria Testing LAP. The 2005 edition incorporates changes resulting from the release of the newest editions of ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and NIST Handbook 150, as well as editorial improvements. The 2005 edition of NIST Handbook 150-20 supersedes and replaces all previous editions.
