Image
A Bio-Medical Waste Authorisation (NOC) is a mandatory approval issued by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Union Territory Pollution Control Committee (UTPCC) for facilities that generate, handle, store, treat, or dispose of biomedical waste.

This authorisation is required for hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, diagnostic centres, blood banks, veterinary facilities, research laboratories, and healthcare institutions to ensure biomedical waste is managed in compliance with the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016.

Simplicomp Tech LLP provides end-to-end support for Bio-Medical Waste Authorisation, ensuring accurate documentation, regulatory alignment, and timely approvals.
