Laboratory Recognition Scheme (LRS)
Get your laboratory recognized under BIS LRS to conduct accredited testing for products in India and abroad.
The Laboratory Recognition Scheme (LRS) is an initiative by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to formally recognize testing laboratories that meet strict quality, infrastructure, and technical criteria. Recognized laboratories are authorized to conduct product testing under various BIS conformity assessment schemes. Achieving LRS recognition enhances credibility, ensures adherence to international standards, and expands your laboratory’s scope of work.
This scheme is applicable for laboratories both in India and abroad. Our experts guide you through every step of the recognition process, helping with documentation, audits, and compliance management, ensuring a smooth approval process.
