The newly accredited laboratory will play a crucial 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, represents a significant change, providing local weavers and manufacturers with immediate access to high-quality testing services.
This advancement is set to prioritize and empower the NER, enhancing its position in the market. Accreditation offers formal recognition of competent laboratories, helping customers find reliable testing services for various needs, including medical, calibration, proficiency testing, and reference materials.
Accreditation also boosts customer confidence by ensuring the reliability of testing and calibration reports issued by accredited laboratories.
