Built for NABCB-accredited certification bodies

What NABCB asks of your records

• The NABCB symbol on accredited certificates. NABCB 010 makes the NABCB accreditation symbol mandatory on certificates issued under accreditation, with your accreditation number below the logo, alongside your own mark, and with the combined IAF MLA mark where applicable. Your certificate template has to carry it, and a certificate outside your accredited scope must not.
• Certificate data when NABCB calls for it. Under BCB 201 (MS), the NABCB Secretariat calls for information on new certificates each quarter and may then ask for audit reports at random. You need to be able to produce a clean list of the quarter's new certificates, and the reports behind any of them, at short notice.
• A fee counted per certificate. Alongside the annual fee, NABCB charges per certificate, fresh or renewed, issued between 1 April and 31 March. Your count has to split fresh from renewed and follow the Indian financial year, not the calendar year.
• Add-on certificates within seven days. BCB 004 lets you issue an NABCB add-on certificate to a client already certified under another IAF MLA accreditation body. The scope must be exactly the same, the existing certificate must have at least a year left to run, and you must tell NABCB within seven days of issue, with copies of both certificates and their scopes.
• IAF CertSearch every month. As an IAF MLA-accredited body you also upload certificate data to IAF CertSearch at least monthly under IAF MD 28. What the monthly upload requires

Your transition dates can be earlier than the international ones

NABCB publishes its own transition policies, and they can run ahead of the Global ACI dates. For ISO 14001:2026, NABCB asked for each certification body's self-declaration and plan by 30 September 2026, four months before the Global ACI date of 31 January 2027, and completes certification body transitions by 30 April 2027.

NABCB has not yet published its policy for ISO 9001:2026. If it follows the same pattern, expect a declaration date earlier than the Global ACI date of 30 June 2027. NABCB and Global ACI dates side by side

How Certyze fits

Certyze runs the certification lifecycle in one place: application and contract review, audit programmes and IAF MD 5 audit time, auditor and reviewer competence, and the certificate register. The fields NABCB's requests draw on (certificate number, standard, scope, IAF codes, fresh or renewed, issue date and status) are part of each certification record, so the quarterly list, the financial-year count and the CertSearch upload come from the live register rather than a spreadsheet kept alongside it.

If you are accredited by another IAF MLA member

Many Indian certification bodies are accredited by other IAF MLA signatories. NABCB's own tender guidance, BCB-601, says accreditation by an IAF MLA signatory is sufficient. NABCB has also advised government, regulators, public sector undertakings and MSMEs to prefer the national accreditation system and to check certificates on IAF CertSearch before relying on them. Either way, the workflow is the same, and CertSearch is where your clients' customers will look.
