Frequently asked questions

Which BS EN 50182 tests are NABL accredited?

All 8 tests listed on this page are within NABL accreditation (ISO/IEC 17025), each against the clause of BS EN 50182 shown next to it. The report carries the NABL accreditation mark for these tests.

Is the BS EN 50182 test report accepted outside India?

NABL is a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement, so its accredited reports are recognised by accreditation bodies in other member countries. Your buyer or regulator still decides what it accepts, so we confirm their requirement before testing.

How many samples are needed for BS EN 50182 testing?

It depends on the product, its variants and the tests you need. Share the product details and the purpose of the test (BIS, tender or customer) and we will send the sample list and a quote.

Can you test only some clauses of BS EN 50182?

Yes. For a tender, a customer complaint or a design check, we can test selected clauses. For BIS certification or a type test, every applicable clause has to be covered.
