NABL NEWSLETTER

Dear NABL Patrons,
I would like to thank all our laboratories for welcoming the changes in NABL Policies and system,
thus getting aligned with new version of international standard. NABL digitization initiative is
being further strengthened and we garner your support through your constructive feedback and
suggestions.
We are striving to achieve harmonization in assessment practices and assessment timings
[9 AM to 5.30 PM (Max. Up to 6 PM)].
Quality control Orders (QCOs) are being issued by the Government which may need capacity
enhancement on the part of laboratories to avail the new opportunities being brought out by
regulations.
Laboratories are advised to ensure correctness of information being submitted to NABL at any
point of time. Laboratories are to be cautious as stringent actions are being taken for false
information, misuse of NABL symbol, etc as per NABL 216.
I would also like to invite the views of laboratories on aspects of accreditation, which can be
published in our newsletter and will be beneficial to the entire laboratory community.
You may send your suggestions to ‘[email protected]’
N. Venkateswaran

Opportunities for NABL Accredited Laboratories
Requirement for accredited testing facility
Technical regulations are being brought out in a phased manner by various ministries to
improve the quality of products being placed in the domestic market. Essential requirements in
testing of Chemicals, textiles, electronic products, medical devices etc. will be mandated.
The DPIIT website can be referred for Quality Control Orders on various products under
notifications section. Kitchen appliances, air conditioners, aluminum foils, motors, pressure
cooker, linoleum rubber, furniture, glass etc. are some of the products.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is in the
process of bringing out voluntary Standards and
Labeling Program for higher tonnage
air-conditioners for commercial use.
NABL Accredited Laboratories may like to explore this area of testing under Electrical and
Mechanical disciplines
BEE Standards and Labeling Programme requires test report from NABL accredited
laboratories. Some appliances are under mandatory and some are under voluntary scheme.
However, there is requirement of accredited laboratories for:
Ceiling fan
agricultural pump
monoset pump
deep Freezers
Inverter

Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC) also makes use of NABL
accredited laboratories for their mandatory testing requirements of
telecom products. NABL accredited laboratories capable of testing as per
the requirements stipulated by TEC can apply for designated CAB status
of TEC. Please refer TEC website for further information.
NITI Aayog has brought out a plan to enhance the manufacturing facility
of Advanced Chemical Cells for self sufficiency and better use of
renewable resources of energy. These batteries have to be tested in
NABL accredited laboratories.
Further, as NABL accredited laboratory test report or calibration
certificate is mandatory in Government e marketplace (GeM), and
MSMEs are encouraged to sell their products on GeM, it would be very
appropriate that such laboratories catering to the need of local industry
come forward for NABL accreditation.
Product Specific Regulations
