Share
Srinagar : In a significant development, Food Testing Laboratories of Jammu and Srinagar have joined elite list of prestigious institutions of the country engaged in analytical work of food & food products by achieving NABL accreditation as mandated under Section 43 of Food Safety & Standards Act 2006.
National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) a constituent board of Quality Council of India (QCI) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has granted accreditation in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 to Food testing laboratories of Jammu and Srinagar under chemical testing for quality assurance.
In this regard, Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) in the year 2016 had advised all the States and UTs to initiate the process of NABL Accreditation. The Apex Authority on 18.12.2020, after reviewing the progress of the States and UTs in this regard had de-notified a number of Food Laboratories of various States and UTs including the Food Testing Laboratory Srinagar for the want of NABL Accreditation, though the basic documentation of both the laboratories had been done. Consequently, the food samples lifted by the Food Safety Officers in Kashmir valley during market inspections since January 2021 had to be referred to Food Testing Laboratory Jammu for analysis.
