Mandate: To provide third-party assessment of the technical competence of testing, calibration, medical, and PTP laboratories.
Standards: Accreditations are based on international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 (for testing and calibration labs), ISO 15189 (for medical labs), and ISO/IEC 17043 (for PTPs).
Global Recognition: NABL is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) and the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) MRA, ensuring global acceptance of test and calibration results from NABL-accredited labs.
Benefits: Enhances confidence in test results, reduces the need for re-testing, facilitates trade, and improves product/service quality.
Digital Transformation: The "Next-Gen Reforms" include a "revamped NABL Portal" for digital ease, faster processing, and improved accessibility.
Accreditation Timelines: Reforms aim for 48-hour recognition for specific labs and longer accreditation periods (e.g., 5 years) for others, streamlining the process.
Sectoral Expansion: New accreditation schemes, such as for air quality monitoring, are being introduced.
