Thank you to all of you who replied.
I am in a position of reviewing test reports for a DoC product designed and tested in India. So with no MRA I suppose the DoC could be invalid. I have asked the lab for their accreditations and I am told that they are NABL accredited. It turns out that NABL is a signatory to both the ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and the APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) agreements. These agreements are suppose to make all accredited labs equal. NVLAP and A2LA are also signatories to the same agreements. While I could not find an MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) between NVLAP/A2LA and NABL, the fact they are a signatory to these two international agreements would make me think that an NABL accredited lab’s results would be accepted by the FCC. Does anyone else agree??
