Frequently asked questions

What should be decided before setting up a testing laboratory?

Start with the intended products, test parameters, methods, expected sample volume, regulatory purpose and future accreditation scope. These decisions drive the layout, utilities, equipment, staffing and budget.

Can laboratory setup be planned in phases?

Yes. A phased plan can prioritise essential tests, equipment and utilities first, with expansion stages linked to demand, competence and budget.

Does laboratory setup consultancy include NABL preparation?

Laboratory setup and NABL accreditation preparation can be scoped together or separately. Accreditation readiness also requires competence records, validated or verified methods, quality controls and an implemented management system.

Which laboratory disciplines can be planned?

Planning can be adapted to the proposed discipline and scope, including food, chemical, electrical, electronic and other testing areas, subject to specialist safety, engineering and regulatory requirements.
