Board for Certification Bodies, India. "The Indian accreditation bodies
had recently conducted a final assessment and approved the capacity of our
laboratories, investigating mechanism and human resources that are used to
assess the products before awarding them the standard certification.
The Indian board is set to provide international recognition to
the NS certification that has been awarded to Nepali instant noodles, GI wire,
