07 Jul 2026 CW Team

EUROBOND, the flagship brand of Euro Panel Products, has expanded the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) accreditation of its in-house laboratory from 16 to 51 mechanical and chemical testing parameters, making it the only Indian aluminium composite panel (ACP) manufacturer with accreditation covering such an extensive testing scope.

The expanded accreditation enables the company to independently test coils, coatings, cores, aluminium composite panels (ACP) and metal composite panels (MCP) in accordance with international standards, including IS, ASTM, AAMA and EN.

The company said the accreditation, granted under ISO/IEC 17025 standards, validates the laboratory's technical competence and testing processes while ensuring traceability and global acceptance of test reports through NABL's recognition under the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) mutual recognition arrangements.

According to EUROBOND, the expanded certification provides architects, consultants and project developers with independently verified test reports carrying the NABL logo, offering greater transparency and confidence in product performance for long-term façade applications.

The company added that it is also the only Indian ACP manufacturer to hold NABL accreditation for testing parameters related to aluminium honeycomb panels, further strengthening its quality assurance capabilities.
