The Gemmological Institute of India (GII) has once again reaffirmed its commitment to excellence and quality by acquiring accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) in accordance with ISO/IEC/17025:2017 in the field of Testing. This recognition is a testament to GII’s high standards, reliable grading processes, and consistent pursuit of scientific precision in gem testing and certification.
GII has always strived for quality in all its activities; be it testing and certification, human resource development through its acclaimed training programs, or high-end research and development in the field of gemmology. The NABL accreditation further strengthens GII’s reputation as a trusted authority in the gem and jewellery industry, both nationally and globally.
Speaking on the occasion, Mehul Shah, Chairman of GII, said, “On behalf of GII, I assure all the gem and jewellery trade and industry that GII will continue to provide quality certificates to its valued customers.” He added, “I express my sincere thanks to all concerned for reposing faith and confidence in me to lead this 54-year-old Gemmological Institute of India.
GII was established by a team of enthusiastic and far-sighted gem traders from the Gem and Jewellery Exporters’ Association (GJEA) to develop trained human resources, promote the science of gems, and carry out scientific research in this field.”
Over the years, GII has evolved into a globally respected institute for its education services, laboratory grading certificates as per international standards, and dedicated R&D initiatives.
