The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) said it has launched India’s first-of-its-kind accreditation scheme for mobile food testing laboratories.
The initiative aims to expand access to reliable, quality-assured and internationally benchmarked food testing services closer to communities, the commerce and industry ministry said.
The scheme, developed by NABL, establishes a framework for mobile food testing laboratories to provide reliable, quality-assured and internationally benchmarked testing services closer to communities.
By extending accredited food testing beyond conventional laboratory settings, the initiative is expected to strengthen food safety surveillance, improve access to quality testing, support faster regulatory interventions and enhance consumer confidence, it said.
