The DCC has almost all the modern equipment and technology for dope testing as compared to the international standards. Procurement of modern equipment and updating technology is an on-going process. DCC has moved an application to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for permanent accreditation. DCC has already got ISO:9001:2000 and ISO:IEC:17025 certification mandatory for permanent accreditation. The quality system of DCC fully incorporates the latest version of International Standard for Testing of Samples. DCC has been participating in proficiency testing in World Association of Anti-Doping Scientists and College of American Pathologists which stipulates that the testing is at par with the other laboratory international standard in the World. This laboratory is situated in Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi.
