NEW Discounted Pricing: India
CLSI is pleased to announce that we are piloting a new pricing model offering discounted pricing for India. This new pricing is part of a global strategy to increase access to our documents and training in service to our mission to promote the use of safe and effective laboratory practices around the globe.
CLSI's global consensus-based standards provide guidance for meeting accreditation and regulatory requirements. Learn how these standards can help you clear regulatory hurdles set forth by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), College of American Pathologists (CAP), US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and The Joint Commission.
We are introducing this pricing structure for India as a pilot and with the support and collaboration of Foundation for Quality India (FQI). Beginning August 1, applicants domiciled in any of the states of India will be eligible for a discount of 90% off published pricing for CLSI documents, training, and membership fees. CLSI is excited to expand our reach and involvement on the continent and to continuing our collaboration with FQI and the Indian laboratory medicine community.
