Guwahati, August 31: Under Ministry of DoNER, North Eastern Handicrafts and Handlooms Development Corporation (NEHHDC) Textile Testing Laboratory at the Head Office in Garchuk, Guwahati has become the first NABL- accredited textile testing facility in Northeast India.
This prestigious accreditation marks a significant achievement in establishing rigorous standards for testing and quality assurance within the region’s textile industry.
The newly accredited laboratory will play a pivotal role in ensuring the exceptional quality of textile products from the Northeast Region (NER). Previously, weavers and producers had to send their products to Kolkata for testing due to the lack of such a facility in the region.
The establishment of this state-of-the-art testing lab in Guwahati, Assam marks a significant change, offering local weavers and manufacturers immediate access to high-quality testing services. This advancement will prioritize and empower the NER, enhancing its position in the market.
Accreditation provides formal recognition of competent CABs, thus providing a ready means for customers to find reliable testing (including Medical), calibration, Proficiency Testing and Reference Material Producer services in order to meet their demands. Accreditation enhances customer confidence in accepting testing and calibration reports issued by accredited laboratories
