Dear Patrons,
Greetings!!
It was a pleasure to meet all in the

stakeholder meetings at Mumbai earlier this
month. The feedback given on present
policies/procedures and accreditation services will be reviewed and
necessary changes will be made as committed in the meeting. We intend
to do more stakeholder meetin gs in different regions in the coming months
and expect full cooperation and support for the same.
I would like to acknowledge the cooperation and support extended by all

our applicant and accredited CABs in the accreditation process.
There are business opportunities for laboratories in the areas of Software

& IT System and also like to make a mention of the Quality Control Orders
(QCOs) recently issued for Morpholine, Acetic Acid, Methanol, Aniline,
Pyridine, Gamma Picoline, Beta Picoline, Potassium Carbonate, Acetone,
Sodium Tripolyphosphate, SPV inverters and Steel & Steel Products.
Hope the above information will benefit the labs which are looking ahead
to enhance their testing capability to serve the industry.
Looking forward to a regular and fruitful engagement with our accredited

CABs.
