NABL Accreditation

National Accreditation Board for Testing & Calibration Laboratories

NABL accredits testing and calibration laboratories, with medical and clinical laboratories assessed against ISO 15189:2022 and general testing/calibration labs against ISO/IEC 17025. ARC's deepest automated coverage is ISO 15189's five-clause structure for medical laboratories, with our consultants extending that discipline to industrial scopes.

What NABL Requires

Competence You Can Demonstrate, Not Just Claim

NABL assessment focuses on technical competence, management systems and the traceability of every result.

โš–๏ธ

Management System

A documented quality management system aligned to ISO/IEC 17025, covering every laboratory function.

๐Ÿงฌ

Technical Competence

Validated test methods, equipment calibration records and demonstrated staff competency per method.

๐Ÿ“

Measurement Traceability

Every calibration traceable to national or international standards, with documented uncertainty budgets.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Proficiency Testing

Participation in inter-laboratory comparison and proficiency-testing programmes for accredited scopes.

๐Ÿ“

Records & Reporting

Controlled test reports and calibration certificates that meet NABL's exact formatting requirements.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Impartiality & Confidentiality

Documented safeguards against conflicts of interest and unauthorised disclosure of results.

Avoiding the Common Pitfalls

What Not to Do, and What To Do Instead

✗ What Not To Do
  • Apply for accreditation across every method before validating each one individually
  • Treat calibration certificates as paperwork rather than traceability evidence
  • Let uncertainty budgets go undocumented or inconsistently calculated
  • Skip proficiency-testing rounds in the lead-up to assessment
  • Leave staff competency records incomplete for any accredited method
✓ What To Do
  • Scope accreditation to methods you can fully validate and sustain
  • Maintain a live traceability chain for every piece of equipment
  • Document uncertainty calculations consistently across all methods
  • Schedule proficiency testing well ahead of your assessment window
  • Keep competency records current for every analyst on every method
