EUROBOND, the flagship brand of Euro Panel Products Limited, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the only Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) manufacturer in India to secure National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) accreditation across 51 mechanical and chemical testing parameters. The accreditation, awarded by NABL under the Quality Council of India, expands the company’s in-house laboratory capabilities from 16 to 51 accredited parameters, establishing one of the country’s most comprehensive testing facilities for architectural cladding materials.
The expanded accreditation enables EUROBOND to conduct NABL-certified testing for coils, coatings, cores, Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP), and Metal Composite Panels (MCP). The laboratory evaluates products against internationally accepted standards, including IS, ASTM, AAMA and EN, providing scientifically validated data that supports the long-term performance requirements of architectural façade projects with warranties extending up to two decades.
Achieving this accreditation required rigorous verification of laboratory equipment, technical expertise, testing methodologies and quality systems in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards. The laboratory also follows stringent documentation, audit and quality assurance protocols, ensuring complete traceability and reliability of every accredited test conducted.
As NABL is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangements, test reports issued by the EUROBOND laboratory are recognised internationally, offering greater confidence to architects, consultants, developers and project owners involved in domestic as well as global projects.
Every accredited report issued by the laboratory now carries the official NABL symbol, clearly identifying the test methods, applicable standards and validated results. This provides customers with independently verified performance data and an additional level of accountability through the accreditation framework.
Commenting on the achievement, Divyam Shah, Whole Time Director and CFO of Euro Panel Products Limited, said, “Trust and transparency have always been central to our approach. This accreditation reflects our commitment to providing customers with independently validated data rather than relying solely on manufacturer declarations. It gives architects, consultants and clients the confidence that every accredited report is backed by globally accepted testing protocols and internationally recognised quality standards.”
The latest recognition further strengthens EUROBOND’s extensive portfolio of quality certifications, including BIS, ISO 9001:2015, TÜV certification, NFPA 285, Certifire and Thomas Bell Wright certifications. The company is also the only Indian ACP manufacturer with NABL accreditation covering Aluminium Honeycomb Panel testing parameters.
Established in 2002, Euro Panel Products Limited operates one of India’s most advanced metal cladding manufacturing facilities at Umbergaon, Gujarat, with an annual production capacity of 10 million square metres. Recognised as a One Star Export House by the Government of India, the company exports to more than 23 countries and was the first Indian manufacturer in its segment to be listed on both the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange.
