Northeast's First NABL-Accredited Textile Testing Lab in Guwahati

A textile testing lab in Guwahati, under the ministry of DoNER, has become the first in the northeast to receive NABL accreditation. This development allows local weavers and manufacturers to perform high-quality product testing locally, enhancing customer confidence and eliminating the need for sending products to Kolkata for testing.

A textile testing laboratory in Guwahati, overseen by the ministry of DoNER, has marked a milestone by becoming the first NABL-accredited lab in the northeast, according to a statement released on Saturday.

The North Eastern Handicrafts and Handlooms Development Corporation (NEHHDC) laboratory has achieved this significant honor, offering new prospects for regional weavers and producers.

Previously, manufacturers and weavers had to send their textiles to Kolkata for testing. The establishment of this state-of-the-art facility in Guwahati changes this dynamic, providing immediate and local access to top-notch testing services.

This accreditation serves as a testament to the lab's reliability, ultimately fostering greater customer confidence in the testing and calibration reports produced, the statement added.
