— WHAT IS NABL ACCREDITATION —
Technical Competence
Recognised Nationally and Internationally
NABL accreditation is India's formal recognition that a laboratory operates competently and impartially per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 — the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. NABL is India's signatory to ILAC MRA, meaning NABL certificates are recognised globally.
What Every NABL Support Project Includes
ISO/IEC 17025 Readiness & Documentation
System Setup
Establish Quality & Technical management systems
Documentation
Quality manual, standard operating procedures
Uncertainty
Measurement uncertainty calculation & training
PT/ILC
Proficiency testing & inter-lab comparison support
Internal Audit
Pre-assessment audit and NC closure

Assistance with application and final assessment
Without NABL, your test/calibration reports lack regulatory acceptance
Non-NABL lab reports are rejected by ISO 9001 auditors (clause 7.1.5), pharmaceutical GMP auditors (Schedule M), and GPCB/PCB for environmental compliance. NABL accreditation makes your reports legally and commercially accepted — by customers, regulators, and certification bodies.
Measurement uncertainty is required — but most labs don't calculate it correctly
ISO/IEC 17025 requires every calibration result to include measurement uncertainty. Incorrect or missing uncertainty calculations are the most common reason NABL applications fail. Prism's experts train your team and prepare GUM-compliant uncertainty budgets for every parameter in your scope.
NABL accreditation opens commercial opportunities worth multiples of its cost
NABL-accredited labs command higher service fees, win contracts from pharma and auto companies requiring NABL certificates, and satisfy government tender requirements. Prism clients consistently recover their consulting investment within 12 months of NABL grant through new business and premium pricing.

— HOW IT WORKS —
NABL Accreditation Journey — Step by Step
Feasibility & Scope Assessment
Review laboratory activities, test/calibration methods, available equipment, and staff competency. Define the realistic scope of NABL accreditation — disciplines, methods, and measurement ranges. Identify critical gaps between current state and NABL requirements.
Laboratory Setup Guidance
Advise on laboratory layout (environmental separation, equipment spacing, access control), reference standard procurement, and traceability chain establishment. Ensure the laboratory's physical infrastructure meets NABL technical requirements before documentation begins.
QMS Documentation Development
Develop ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliant quality management system documentation: quality manual, procedures for laboratory operations (calibration, testing, equipment management, complaints, impartiality), work instructions, and all required forms.
Staff Training
Train laboratory personnel on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements, method execution, uncertainty of measurement calculations, internal audit, and document control. Competency records established for all technical staff performing accredited activities.
Pre-Assessment & NABL Application
Conduct full pre-assessment audit against ISO/IEC 17025 requirements, simulating the NABL assessor review. Close all findings. Prepare and submit the NABL application with all supporting documents — technology group, scope, facility details, and QMS documentation.
NABL Assessment Support
Support during NABL's document review and on-site assessment. Brief laboratory staff on assessor interaction, manage technical demonstrations, respond to assessor observations, and coordinate corrective action closure for successful accreditation grant.

What Our NABL Consulting Clients Say
Prism guided our environmental testing lab through the entire NABL accreditation process — QMS documentation, equipment qualification, uncertainty calculation training, and pre-assessment audit. We received our NABL accreditation on the first application. Their experience with the NABL process is unmatched.
Setting up a new calibration laboratory and getting NABL accreditation felt overwhelming. Prism structured the entire process — facility layout guidance, QMS per ISO/IEC 17025, measurement uncertainty training, and NABL application support. Professional, systematic, and genuinely expert team.
Our QC laboratory had been operating without NABL accreditation, and customer auditors were asking for it. Prism assessed our lab against ISO/IEC 17025 requirements, identified gaps, and helped us achieve accreditation in 5 months. Now our test reports are accepted without question in customer audits.

NABL Consulting Disclaimer
NABL accreditation is granted by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India — not by Prism. Prism provides consulting support to prepare your laboratory for NABL assessment. Accreditation outcome depends on the laboratory's implementation of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements and the NABL assessors' findings during the assessment visit.
