BOMBAY TEXTILE RESEARCH
ASSOCIATION - BTRA
 CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR GEOTECH
 ACCREDITED BY NABL FOR ISO 17025-2005
 ONLY LABORATORY IN INDIA ACCREDITED FOR
GAI-LAP BY GSI USA.
 ONE STOP SHOP FOR GEOSYNTHETICS TESTS
CONCLUSION
 TEST METHODS ARE A MEANS TO UNDERSTAND
THE PRODUCT
 TEST RESULTS GIVE A TRUE PICTURE OF THE
PRODUCT
 TEST RESULTS ARE DEPENDABLE WHEN
CONDUCTED EXACTLY AS PER THE STANDARD
TEST METHODS
 ACCREDITATION TO ISO 17025 -2005 ENSURES THE
LABOARTORY’S COMPETENCE IN GIVING
CONSISTENTLY ACCURATE RESULTS
