Lab Standards & Accreditation

NABL is India's premiere accreditation body for testing labs, operating under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India. NABL accreditation certifies that a laboratory operates to the highest global standards of quality and technical competence, as defined by ISO/IEC 17025.

Only labs that pass rigorous NABL audits are authorised to issue reports used in legal, clinical, and regulatory proceedings. Thyrocare's NABL accreditation ensures your test results are internationally recognised and trusted by doctors nationwide.

CAP is the world's leading organisation of board-certified pathologists. Its laboratory accreditation programme is recognised globally as the gold standard for diagnostic laboratory quality — more rigorous than ISO certification alone. Thyrocare is among a handful of Indian labs to hold CAP accreditation.

CAP-accredited labs undergo unannounced inspections and must demonstrate consistently superior analytical performance. Tests from CAP-accredited Thyrocare labs are accepted by international hospitals and insurance companies.

ISO 15189 is the international standard specifically designed for medical laboratories (as opposed to the generic ISO 17025 for all labs). It defines requirements for quality management systems and technical competence in clinical lab testing.

Compliance with ISO 15189 ensures that not just the tests, but also the pre-analytical (sample collection) and post-analytical (report generation) processes meet globally defined quality thresholds.
