If you’re a laboratory or diagnostic center in India aiming for credibility, trust, and recognition, NABL certification is no longer optional—it’s essential. But the biggest question that stops many from taking the first step is this:
“What is the NABL certification cost?”
In this article, we’ll give you a clear, no-jargon breakdown of NABL certification cost, process, benefits, and how Prgenix can help you get certified without the usual hassles or hidden charges.
🧾 What is NABL Certification?
NABL stands for the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It is an autonomous body under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India.
NABL accreditation is granted based on ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 15189, or relevant international standards depending on the type of laboratory (testing, calibration, or medical labs).
In simpler terms—NABL certification proves that your lab meets global quality and technical standards.

The NABL certificate cost can vary based on several factors:
1. Type of Laboratory
- Medical Laboratory (ISO 15189)
- Testing Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025)
- Calibration Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025)
2. Scope of Accreditation
- Number of parameters tested/calibrated
- Complexity of tests
3. Manpower & Infrastructure
- Whether your lab is already partially compliant or needs a complete overhaul
