It reflects our dedication to precision, quality, and continuous improvement.

The Raipur laboratory plays a vital role in maintaining consistency across various quality parameters that support the plant’s production standards. With this accreditation, it becomes part of an elite group of laboratories in India recognised for upholding global testing practices.

As NABL is a member of both the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), the certified reports issued by Shree Cement’s Raipur lab are now internationally acknowledged. This recognition further enhances Shree Cement’s reputation as a quality-centric, globally aligned enterprise.
