Procedure for Accreditation:

►An applicant of laboratory is expected to submit to NABL 5 copies of the


application and 5 copies of Quality Manual.

standards.

➤Thereafter the Lead Assessor will conduct a Pre-Assessment of the laboratory for
one day.

➤Based on the Pre-Assessment report the laboratory may have to take certain
corrective actions, so as to be fully prepared for the final assessment.

➤It is essential for the applicant as well as accredited laboratories to satisfactorily


participate in Proficiency testing/ Inter laboratory comparisons/External quality
assessment programme as Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation
(APLAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangement calls for mandatory participation in such
programmes.

Procedure For Accreditation:

➤ Finally, when the laboratory is ready, the load Assessor and a team of technical
assessors will conduct the final assessment.

➤ The accreditation process involves a thorough assessment of all the elements of


the laboratory that contribute to the production of accurate and reliable test data.

➤ These elements include staffng, training, supervision, quality control, equipment,


recording and reporting of test results and the environment in which the laboratory
operates.

➤ The laboratory may have to take certain corrective actions, after the final
assessment.

➤ After satisfactory corrective actions are taken by the laboratory (within a period of
3 months), the Accreditation Commitee will examine the report and if satisfed
recommend for accreditation.

➤ The time required for the process of accreditation will depend upon the
preparedness of the laboratory and its response to the non conformances raised
during the pre- assessment and final assessment.
➤ The total duration ranges between 6 and 8 months.
