Laboratory accreditation is a procedure by which an authoritative body gives formal recognition of technical competence for specific tests / measurements, based on third party assessment and following international standards.
The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is an autonomous body under the guidance of the department of India whose purpose is to provide accreditation to testing and calibration of clinical laboratories in the country. It is the sole accreditation body authorized by the Govt. NABL has been established with the objective of providing Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme of Conformity Assessment Body’s accreditation which involves third-party assessment of the technical competence of testing including medical and calibration laboratories, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers.
Reports from NABL-accredited laboratories are essential for companies in India because they help meet legal requirements, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals and food. These reports ensure products are safe and of high quality, boosting customer trust and market acceptance both in India and abroad. They also give companies a competitive edge by proving their commitment to quality. Since NABL standards are internationally recognised, these reports support export activities and innovation. Additionally, they help manage risks, resolve disputes and improve manufacturing processes, contributing to overall business success.
