NABL accreditation is important as it provides a framework for evaluating and ensuring the quality and competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It benefits both the laboratories and their customers by promoting confidence, reliability and international recognition.
NABL accreditation follows a cycle of continual improvement. Once accredited, laboratories are subject to regular surveillance assessments to ensure ongoing compliance with standards. This encourages laboratories to continuously improve their processes, systems, and services, leading to enhanced quality and customer satisfaction.
NABL is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangements. This means that NABL-accredited laboratories are recognized internationally, facilitating acceptance of test results across borders.
