🧩 What Is NABL Accreditation?

NABL Accreditation is an official recognition granted to laboratories that meet the technical competence and management system requirements outlined by ISO/IEC 17025 (for testing and calibration laboratories) or ISO 15189 (for medical laboratories).

Accreditation ensures that test results and calibration certificates issued by the lab are:
✅ Accurate
✅ Reliable
✅ Recognized internationally through Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) with bodies like ILAC and APLAC.

⚙️ Types of NABL Accreditation

🧾 Step-by-Step Process for NABL Accreditation

Step 1: Gap Analysis

We perform a detailed assessment of your laboratory’s existing systems, processes, and infrastructure against NABL requirements.

Step 2: Documentation Preparation

Develop and implement required documents, including:

• Quality Manual
  
  
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  
  
• Equipment Calibration Records
  
  
• Test Methods and Validation Reports
  
  
• Personnel Competency Records
  
  

Step 3: Application Submission

File the NABL online application via NABL Portal (www.nabl-india.org), including the scope of accreditation and required supporting documents.

Step 4: Pre-Assessment Audit

NABL experts conduct a preliminary assessment to identify non-conformities and improvement areas.

Step 5: Corrective Actions

We assist your team in implementing corrective and preventive actions based on audit findings.

Step 6: Final Assessment

A final on-site assessment is conducted by NABL assessors to evaluate technical competence and management system compliance.

Step 7: Accreditation Grant

Upon successful evaluation, NABL grants accreditation and issues a NABL Certificate, valid for two years, renewable after re-assessment.
