Previously, local weavers and producers had to send their products to Kolkata for testing due to the absence of a regional facility. With the establishment of this state-of-the-art lab in Guwahati, they now have immediate access to high-quality testing services, reducing time and costs associated with external testing.

The accreditation not only enhances the lab's credibility but also provides formal recognition of its competency in delivering reliable testing, calibration, proficiency testing, and reference material services. This advancement is expected to boost the market position of NER's textile industry, instilling greater confidence among customers and stakeholders.

Meanwhile, terming it as a historic moment, Union Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia took to platform 'X' and wrote, "A proud and historic moment for the North East and its exceptional craftsmanship! The Textile Testing Laboratory at @nehhdc has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first NABL-accredited textile testing facility in North East India. This accreditation is a testament to the laboratory's adherence to rigorous standards. This will help in maintaining the exceptional quality of silk and other textile products produced in the North East."
