• Completed application form

• Management System Document / Quality Manual

• Prescribed application fees

• Acceptance of terms and Conditions (NABL 131: Terms & Conditions for Obtaining and Maintaining NABL Accreditation).

Note:

i. RMP based in India is required to apply for NABL accreditation through NABL Web Portal only ().

ii. RMP based outside India is required to apply and separate application is to be submitted for each category. One copy of Management System Document / Quality Manual and NABL 131 is required to be submitted by an RMP irrespective of the number of categories applied

2. RMP is required to undertake its RMP activities in such a way as to meet the requirement of ISO 17034: 2016, NABL specific criteria, APAC TEC1-008: APAC Guidance on Reference Material Use and Production, other relevant requirements of NABL and the regulatory authorities, as applicable at all times.

Note: RMP operating from different locations in the same district may apply for NABL accreditation as a single RMP. The details of each location are to be explicitly mentioned in clause 1.1 of application form. In events where the RMP operates from different district, each RMP is required to apply separately for accreditation except those cases where safety or regulatory requirements are there for operation of the RMP. In such cases, the RMP is required to provide proper justification.

8. RMP shall make clear that accreditation is granted to the RMP, and not to its subcontractors. In this regard, the RMP shall have a written agreement with its subcontractors.
