FSSAI Approved Food Testing Laboratory India | NABL Accredited

What Does FSSAI Approved Lab Mean?

An FSSAI approved laboratory (officially termed "FSSAI notified laboratory") is recognized by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to conduct food testing for regulatory compliance purposes. FSSAI notification is granted to laboratories that hold valid NABL accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for the relevant food testing parameters.

Test reports from FSSAI notified laboratories are accepted for FSSAI licensing applications, food import clearances, surveillance testing orders, and legal proceedings under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Only reports from notified labs carry regulatory weight for compliance purposes.

Auriga Research holds FSSAI notification at our Delhi (HQ) and Bangalore laboratories, covering chemical testing (including pesticide residues, heavy metals, nutritional parameters, and antibiotic residues) and microbiological testing (pathogens, TPC, yeast and mould, sterility).

Water Testing for FSSAI Licensing

Packaged drinking water and mineral water products require FSSAI licensing backed by test reports from an FSSAI notified laboratory. Auriga Research tests packaged water products against IS 14543 (packaged drinking water) and IS 13428 (packaged natural mineral water) standards.

Our water testing scope covers microbiological safety, chemical contaminants, heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury), pesticide residues, and organoleptic properties. For food processing units, we also test process water and source water quality to support your FSSAI compliance documentation.
