NABH 6th Edition · Effective 1 Jan 2025
Every chapter. Every element. All 639.
The structure of the NABH Hospital Accreditation Standard, 6th Edition — 10 chapters, 100 standards, 639 Objective Elements, with the code and chapter for each. Open a chapter, then choose “Explain” on any element for what it asks of a hospital in plain English, and a real-life example. The official standard is published by NABH and should be read alongside this.
Core — 105, assessed every time
Commitment — 457, assessed at final
Achievement — 60, at surveillance
Excellence — 17, at re-accreditation
Marked with an asterisk (*) in the book: that Objective Element requires a written Standard Operating Procedure — documented, implemented, and kept on file for the assessor to review. On this page these are flagged with a ✱ SOP required tag.
