'Unilab', the mechanical testing lab of Lovely Professional University (LPU) has been accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). This makes LPU the only private university in the country to bag the prestigious accreditation. It also becomes the first university in Punjab to receive the NABL accreditation.
Established under the School of Civil Engineering, "Unilab" performs mechanical testing of building and construction materials, like concrete, soil, bitumen, aggregate, bricks and paver blocks. The lab is used by both faculty and students for their research and project work. With NABL certification, LPU can now accept commercial projects and extend commercial services to the industry.
Pratham Mittal, Head of new initiatives at Lovely Professional University
said, "We are excited to be the first private university in India to receive the
NABL accreditation for our mechanical Unilab. The delivery of world class
education requires access to high quality infrastructure, whether it is our
labs, learning resources or sports facilities. With this accreditation, LPU
faculty and students can now accept commercial research and testing assignments,
enabling them to gain useful industry experience. It will also help us in
building a closer industry-academia relationship for the school of Civil
Engineering".
Lovely Professional University's Unilab has been established as
per ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 (international standard) guidelines in 2017. The lab
strictly follows the correct technical and managerial processes to ensure world
class testing services are provided to its customers with consistent, reliable
and accurate test results. The NABL accreditation certifies that the equipment
used in the Unilab are calibrated and they have measurement traceability. The
test procedures are established and followed as per relevant Indian standard
code of practice and that there is a management system for handling risk,
customer complaints and feedback for improvements.
Dr. Amit Srivastava, Professor at School of Civil Engineering, Lovely
Professional University said, "While most educational institutions run their lab
on non-commercial basis i.e.- only to teach students about testing procedures,
at Unilab, the students now can get exposure to actual commercial projects. With
NABL accreditation, they have a higher chance of becoming an independent NABL
assessor and can work as Quality Head/Technical head in commercial labs or even
start their own business in the field of testing".
The School of Civil
Engineering at Lovely Professional University offers undergraduate and graduate
courses in Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Construction
Management, Environmental Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering. The school
also provides courses on laboratory management system as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017
to help students become an entrepreneur in the field of laboratory testing
(students can start their own laboratories).
