Annexure 1 Scope For NABL Accreditation (Mechanical)

The document outlines the scope of accreditation for mechanical and chemical testing by NABL. It lists 18 specific tests that can be performed on plastics, polymers, and other materials including tensile, flexural, impact strength, density, thermal properties, weathering resistance, flammability, degradation, and toxicity. The tests are mapped to international standards like ASTM and ISO and specify the property ranges and limits of detection for each test. The scope covers both mechanical and physical characterization as well as chemical analysis and environmental degradation testing of plastics materials and products.
