Criteria for recognition of laboratories by BIS are available on BIS website (www.bis.org.in).
New Zealand 18:
Report by the Secretariat (WT/TPR/S/249):
The BIS scheme does not appear to provide for recognition of the competence of foreign laboratories through reliance on the peer reviewed ILAC7 arrangement among laboratory accreditation bodies worldwide.
As above, we would appreciate hearing why India does not recognise foreign laboratories through relying on the ILAC system, and whether it is considering such a move in the interest of facilitating trade.
