NABL or ISO 17025 Accreditation Services
At Qualitance India, we specialize in providing end-to-end consultancy and support services for organizations seeking NABL Accreditation or compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the international standard for competence of testing and calibration laboratories. As one of India’s leading quality and accreditation consultants, we ensure that your lab meets all necessary technical and management system requirements, helping you achieve accreditation in a streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective manner.
What is NABL/ISO 17025?
NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) is an autonomous body under the Quality Council of India (QCI). It provides accreditation to laboratories in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, which is globally recognized as the standard for quality and competence in testing and calibration laboratories.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 outlines the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories. Accreditation under this standard demonstrates that a laboratory is technically competent and able to produce accurate and reliable results.
Why NABL or ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters
Accreditation provides a wide range of benefits for laboratories:
Enhanced Credibility and Reputation: Accreditation validates your lab’s technical competence and management systems, making it more credible to clients, regulators, and international partners.
Market Access and Recognition: NABL is a signatory to international mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) through ILAC and APLAC, which means your test reports and calibration certificates are recognized globally.
Improved Operational Efficiency: The implementation of ISO 17025 improves overall workflow, documentation, and internal processes, reducing errors and improving turnaround time.
Regulatory Compliance: Accreditation is often required to meet regulatory and industry-specific compliance standards.
Customer Trust: Clients are more likely to trust labs that meet international standards and undergo regular independent audits.
