Update on NABL Accreditation Cycle: Extended to 4 Years

 Update on NABL Accreditation Cycle: Extended to 4 Years

The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) has officially extended its accreditation cycle from 2 years to 4 years with effect from 01.10.2024. This change means that certificates issued from this date onwards will now have a validity period of four years, as opposed to the previous two-year cycle.

This shift is likely aimed at reducing the administrative burden on laboratories while maintaining the integrity of the accreditation process.

For laboratories, this update signifies a longer period of operational assurance under NABL accreditation, allowing more time between renewals while still adhering to necessary surveillance and re-evaluation processes.
