How NABL Accreditation Works in India
NABL is India's national accreditation body under DAE (Department of Atomic Energy). It grants accreditation to testing and calibration laboratories per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 through a rigorous process: document review, on-site assessment by technical experts, proficiency testing (inter-laboratory comparisons), and biennial surveillance visits. NABL accreditation ensures measurement traceability to SI units through national measurement institute (NMI) standards.
