CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING LABORATORY:

Civil-Aid Technoclinic Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore is accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), Department of Science and Technology Government of India, in the fields of Mechanical, Chemical and Non-Destructive Testing as per ISO 17025-2005.

WHAT IS NABL ACCREDITATION?

National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is an autonomous body under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, and is registered under the Societies Act. NABL has been established with the objective to provide Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme for third-party assessment of the quality and technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Government of India has authorized NABL as the sole accreditation body for Testing and Calibration laboratories.

WHY NABL ACCREDITATION?

NABL accreditation is a formal recognition of the technical competence of a testing or calibration laboratory for a specific task following ISO/IEC 17025 Standard. This is based on third party assessment. WTO recognizes non-acceptance of test results and measurement data as Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). Accreditation is considered to be the first essential step towards removing such technical barriers. NABL has gone a step further and achieved the status of APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement) partner and signatory to ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) Arrangement based on peer evaluation by a multi-disciplinary team from APLAC. This is a major step towards mutual acceptance of test results and measurement data amongst 52 accreditation bodies representing 45 countries. NABL accredited laboratories have therefore emerged as a member of global family of accredited laboratories

Why Laboratory Accreditation ?

The concept of Laboratory Accreditation was developed to provide a means for third-party certification of the competence of laboratories to perform specific type(s) of testing and calibration.Laboratory Accreditation provides formal recognition of competent laboratories, thus providing a ready means for customers to find reliable testing and calibration services in order to meet their demands.Laboratory Accreditation enhances customer confidence in accepting testing / calibration reports issued byaccredited laboratories.The globalisation of Indian economy and the liberalisation policies initiated by the Government in reducing trade barriers and providing greater thrust to exports makes it imperative for Accredited Laboratories to be at international level of competence. Benefits of Accreditation Formal recognition of competence of a laboratory by an Accreditation body in accordance with international criteria has many advantages:
 
 
Potential increase in business due to enhanced customer confidence and satisfaction.
  
 
Savings in terms of time and money due to reduction or elimination of the need for re-testing of products.
  
 
Better control of laboratory operations and feedback to laboratories as to whether they have sound Quality Assurance System and are technically competent.  
 
Increase of confidence in Testing / Calibration data and personnel performing work.  
 
Customers can search and identify the laboratories accredited by NABL for their specific requirements from the Directory of Accredited Laboratories.  
 
Users of accredited laboratories will enjoy greater access for their products, in both domestic and international markets, when tested by accredited laboratories.
