Frequently asked questions

What does a NABL consultant support?

A NABL consultant can support gap assessment, ISO/IEC 17025 documentation, technical-record review, internal-audit preparation, management review, assessment readiness and corrective-action planning. NABL itself retains the accreditation decision.

Can a new testing laboratory start with a gap assessment?

Yes. A scope-led gap assessment can identify the methods, equipment, competence, quality controls, documents and records that must be developed before an application or assessment.

Does consultancy guarantee NABL accreditation?

No. Consultancy can improve readiness and evidence quality, but accreditation is granted only by NABL after its independent assessment and decision process.

Do you support scope extension and surveillance preparation?

Yes. Support can be tailored for initial accreditation, surveillance, reassessment or scope extension, based on the laboratory discipline, methods and current evidence.
