CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE

Dear NABL Patrons,

In continuation to our efforts regarding zero tolerance on corruption and to strengthen

impartiality in operations, individual activity of the laboratory in regard to accreditation will

be handled by a team instead of a single dealing officer. Henceforth there will be no single

dealing officer for laboratories. The relevant information will be available on portal

dashboard.

We have started providing an opportunity for personal hearing to the laboratory before

taking adverse decisions (Denial of Accreditation, Suspension of accreditation, Withdrawal of

accreditation) and only authorized staff’s of the laboratory are allowed with prior

appointment to substantiate their case.

We are continuing to conduct the Lab forums based on the positive responses and requests

from our stake holders

Looking forward to meet you in the 8th National Conclave for Laboratories at Chennai during

13th – 14th December 2019.

N. Venkateswaran
