Sterlite Power’s OPGW facility receives 17025:2005 accreditation

Sterlite Power’s optical ground wire (OPGW) facility in Silvassa has been granted 17025:2005 accreditation by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). This is the first time that an OPGW laboratory in India has received this rating for testing OPGW cables, aluminum clad steel (ACS) wires, alloy wires and optical fibres. With this rating, products manufactured by Sterlite Power at this facility can be used in other countries without the need for additional retesting, thereby resulting in cost savings. Valid for two years, till March 2020, the certificate establishes that the lab infrastructure operates at the highest standards for all tests conducted at the facility, including manpower, documentation, calibration and the Inter Laboratory Comparison test.
