Introduction
NABL Testing - Overview
NABL testing has become one of the most important requirements for manufacturers, importers, and exporters in India. Whether you are applying for BIS Certification, ISI Mark, CRS, or any safety approval, a NABL-accredited lab test report is often mandatory.
This guide explains NABL testing in simple language—its meaning, process, documents, benefits, testing categories, and how EVTL India helps you complete it smoothly.
What Is NABL Testing?
NABL stands for National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It is an autonomous body under the Government of India that accredits laboratories for testing and calibration.
NABL testing means your product is tested in a lab that is recognized, competent, and follows strict quality standards.
Why Is NABL Testing Important?
Ensures Reliable and Accurate Test Results: NABL-accredited labs follow international standards (ISO/IEC 17025), which ensures accuracy, repeatability, and trust.
Required for BIS Certification: Almost all BIS schemes—CRS, FMCS, ISI—require test reports from a NABL-accredited lab.
Improves Market Acceptance: Buyers and government bodies accept NABL reports as proof of product quality and safety.
Boosts Business Credibility: NABL testing shows customers that your product meets high-quality standards.
NABL testing services cover a wide range of categories, including:
Electrical & Electronics Testing: Safety testing, performance testing, EMC/EMI testing, and energy efficiency testing.
Mechanical Testing: Strength and durability, hardness, impact, vibration, tensile, and compression tests.
Chemical Testing: Chemical composition, environmental testing, and hazardous contents testing.
Calibration Services: Instruments calibration, measurement accuracy, and equipment validation.
Food & Microbiology Testing: Quality and safety checks, contaminant analysis, and shelf-life evaluation.
NABL Testing Process – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Product Understanding & Requirement Check:The laboratory identifies the correct test standards and parameters based on your product type and applicable regulatory requirements.
Step 2: Sample Submission:The applicant submits the product samples along with relevant technical documents, specifications, and product details.
Step 3: Laboratory Evaluation:Qualified technicians test the product under controlled laboratory conditions as per applicable Indian and international standards.
Step 4: Data Analysis & Results:The measured performance, safety, and quality parameters are analyzed, verified, and documented by authorized laboratory personnel.
Step 5: Test Report Issuance:A NABL-accredited test report is issued, which is valid for BIS certification and other regulatory approvals.
Documents Required for NABL Testing
For NABL testing, manufacturers, importers, and applicants must submit essential technical and product-related documents to ensure accurate testing as per applicable standards.
Submitting complete and correct documentation helps laboratories conduct testing efficiently and avoids delays or rejections.

How NABL Testing Supports BIS Certification
BIS certification requires strict compliance with Indian Standards and reliable product testing. NABL testing plays a critical role in ensuring smooth and successful BIS approval.
Providing Valid Test Reports:BIS authorities accept test reports only from NABL-accredited laboratories, making NABL testing mandatory for most BIS schemes.
Ensuring Compliance with Standards:NABL laboratories test products strictly as per applicable Indian Standards (IS), ensuring full technical and safety compliance.
Avoiding Rejection in BIS Applications:Accurate NABL testing minimizes errors, reduces objections, and speeds up the BIS certification approval process.
Benefits of Conducting NABL Testing
Conducting NABL testing offers multiple advantages for manufacturers, importers, and exporters by ensuring quality, compliance, and market acceptance.
Enhances Product Quality:With strict testing and measurement, your product becomes safer and more reliable.
Reduces Market Risk:Errors are identified early, preventing product failure in the market.
Helps in Government Approvals:NABL testing is mandatory for BIS, WPC, EPR, TEC, and other certifications.
Increases Customer Trust:A NABL-tested product is more credible in both domestic and international markets.
