National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories
(NABL)
NABL stands for National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It is an autonomous body under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
NABL has been established with the objective to provide Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme for third-party assessment of the quality and technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Government of India has authorised NABL as the sole accreditation body for Testing and Calibration laboratories.
NABL has established its Accreditation System in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011:2004, which is followed internationally.
The concept of Laboratory Accreditation was developed to provide a means for third-party certification of the competence of laboratories to perform specific type(s) of testing and calibration.
Laboratory Accreditation provides formal recognition of competent laboratories, thus providing a ready means for customers to find reliable testing and calibration services in order to meet their demands.
