Accredited tests first. We mainly carry out the parameters that are within our NABL accredited scope. Other parameters may be possible, but they are not accredited and the result is not assured. Please discuss any such parameter with the Quality Manager or the Head of the Laboratory before submitting a sample.
Where the tests come from
Every test in the finder comes from our NABL Scope of Accreditation: Certificate No. NABLT1026AS19792, accredited as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 in the Chemical and Biological disciplines. The certificate is valid from 20-07-2026 to 19-07-2028, and the scope was last amended on 19-10-2026.
Each test is shown with the product and the test method as written in the scope, so you can check it against the official record. Products are grouped under everyday names such as “Tea” or “Ghee & milk fat products” only to make searching easier.

Products within a broader category
The scope accredits pesticide residue and metal contaminant tests for broad product categories: Cereal, Pulses and Cereal Products, Fruit and Fruit Products and Vegetable and Vegetable Products. Products that are part of these categories are also listed with those tests, marked via broader category.
| Broader category | Products shown with its residue and metal tests |
|---|---|
| Cereal, Pulses and Cereal Products | Atta, maida, suji, besan, rawa, corn flour and other cereal flours; rice (Basmati and fortified); bread, biscuits and cakes |
| Fruit and Fruit Products | Fruit juices, ready-to-serve fruit drinks, squash and syrups, jam, canned fruit, dates, raisins |
| Vegetable and Vegetable Products | Vegetable juices, tomato ketchup and sauce |
| Both of the above | Culinary pastes and sauces, dehydrated fruit and vegetables, canned fruit and vegetables, mixed fruit and vegetable products |
| Both of the above, metals only | Pickles, puree, chutney and culinary preparations (one entry in the scope). Pickles are fruit or vegetable based, but their high oil content puts them outside the fruit and vegetable pesticide residue tests, so only the metal contaminant tests are shown. |
Other products show only the tests listed for them in the scope.
Fatty acid profile
The scope accredits a fatty acid profile for Milk fat products (ghee, butter oil, fat extracted from milk products, fat extracted from paneer, extracted fat of mawa/khoa, etc). The profile is run on the fat extracted from the sample. The finder offers it, as an optional extra, for ghee, milk fat and butter oil, butter, paneer and cheese. For other products, please discuss with the Quality Manager or the Head of the Laboratory before submitting a sample.
Where the fees come from
Fees are the revised rates in the notified analysis rates (Annexure A to Notification No. HLA.532/2020/235): notified rates (PDF).
- Commercial / business samples pay the notified “General Parameters” fee. Non-commercial / individual samples pay the “Quality Parameters” fee, which differs by product.
- Other fees are for microbiological parameters (differs by product), metal contaminants (₹1,000), crop contaminants and naturally occurring toxic substances (₹1,000) and pesticide residues (₹3,000).
- Butter oil is a similar product to ghee. Individuals pay the same quality parameters fee as for ghee (₹500), as applied by the laboratory.
- Fatty acid profile is an optional extra of ₹1,000, charged in addition to the normal quality parameters. This charge is set by the laboratory and is not in the notification. It is offered for ghee, milk fat and butter oil, butter, paneer and cheese.
- A fee is shown only when we have accredited tests for it. If the notified schedule lists a test for a product that is outside our NABL scope, it is not shown or priced.
- If we have accredited tests but the schedule lists no fee for them for that product, the finder says “fee to be confirmed”.
- Some accredited products have no article in the notified rates at all: salt (iodised, edible common and fortified), fruits and vegetables, organic plant-based products, peanut butter, mayonnaise, dairy whitener, egg products, canned rasagulla, betel nut / areca nut and prepared ready-to-eat food. The finder lists their accredited tests with “fee to be confirmed” and no amount.
- Where the notification lists variants of a product, such as different types of juice, the finder shows a range.
The total in the finder is an estimate. The final fee is confirmed at the lab counter. Payment is by UPI only, at the Reception Block.
What is not shown
- The integrated scope (as per FSSAI, APEDA and Tea Board) is awaiting finalisation by NABL. It will be added once issued.
- Tests that are not listed are outside our NABL accreditation. They may be possible, but this is not assured. Please discuss them with the Quality Manager or the Head of the Laboratory before submitting a sample, and contact the laboratory to arrange this.
- Products with no accredited tests listed in our scope say so in the finder.
