NABL accredited pathology lab in Delhi
HumanCare Pathlabs holds NABL accreditation (MC-10015) for medical testing. Here is what that means for your reports.
What NABL accreditation means
NABL is India's National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Accreditation under ISO 15189 means an independent body has assessed our staff competence, equipment calibration, methods, quality controls and record keeping.
It is awarded for a defined scope. Only the tests listed in our scope of accreditation carry the NABL mark. Please check the scope list on this page for the exact tests.
How to verify us
Our certificate number is MC-10015. You can ask us for a copy at any time and cross-check it on the NABL website.
What ISO 15189 means for a medical laboratory
NABL assesses medical laboratories against ISO 15189, the international standard for quality and competence in medical laboratories. It covers the whole testing process: how patients are identified and samples collected and transported, how tests are validated and instruments calibrated, how results are checked and reported, and how mistakes are recorded and corrected.
In practice this means documented procedures, trained staff, calibrated equipment, internal quality control every day, and periodic external assessment by NABL.
How accreditation helps you as a patient
- More reliable results that your doctor can compare over time
- Clear identification and handling of your sample from collection to report
- Reports accepted by employers, insurers and institutions that ask for an accredited laboratory
- A route to raise concerns, which are recorded and acted upon
Scope of accreditation: what to check
NABL accreditation is granted for specific tests, which is called the scope. A laboratory can be accredited and still run some tests outside its scope. If an organisation asks specifically for NABL-accredited reports, please check that your test is in our scope before you book, and ask us for the scope document. Our certificate number is MC-10015.
Quality in daily work
Our laboratory runs fully automated biochemistry, haematology and electrolyte analysers and a semi-automatic coagulation analyser. Instruments are operated, calibrated and maintained as per manufacturer recommendations and documented quality procedures, and results are reviewed under internal quality checks before release.
