CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S
MESSAGE
Dear Patrons,

Greetings!!

I would like to thank you all for the feedback provided on present policies/procedures and
accreditation services. We will review and make necessary changes as committed in the
stakeholders meeting.

I take this opportunity to request you all to visit NABL website/ portal regularly where
announcements/ meetings/ events information are made available and updated for the
benefit of CABs.

Hope you have experienced the improvement in workability of NABL web portal. We have
also removed ''submission of application for onsite surveillance activity'' tab from portal.
NABL will initiate the process to conduct the onsite surveillance assessment for existing
accredited scope of the CAB. This process will be completed within 10-12 months from the
date of grant of accreditation.

Laboratories are encouraged to explore business opportunities in the area of testing Electric
Vehicle Chargers (IS 17017 Part 1/IEC 61851-1, IEC 61851-23), testing of PVC Resins (IS 4669,
IS 10151), testing of fan motor for Evaporative Coolers/ Desert Coolers (IS 3315, IS 2312),
testing of Gang Operated Air Break (GOAB) Switches (IS 9920 Part 1 -4) and testing of Bio
Degradable Plastics (IS/ISO 17088).

Hope the above information will benefit labs which are looking ahead to expand their scope
of accreditation. We were also thinking of introducing a page in the newsletter about lab's
contribution (to motivate other labs) and from next newsletter onwards, it will appear under
'Achievements of labs'. Request to provide us the information to publish.

We are looking forward to provide the best of our services & request your continued support.

FSSAI APPROVED TEST METHODS FOR


TESTING OF FORTIFICANTS (VITAMIN B9,
VITAMIN B12 & IRON) IN FORTIFIED RICE
AND RICE KERNELS
As per the directive of our Hon'ble Prime
Minister, the rice to be supplied through
the Public Distribution System (PDS) has
to be fortified. Therefore, there is a need
to develop a robust testing network of
labs (Private and Government) in the
country for testing of fortified rice and
rice kernels. In order to meet this
requirement, FSSAI approved test
methods are being included in the
Method Manual of FSSAI.

Method for Determination of


Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) in
Fortified Rice.
Method for Determination of Iron in
Fortified Rice.
Method for Determination of Folic
Acid (Vitamin B9) in Fortified Rice.

Laboratories are encouraged to apply for


NABL accreditation for the analysis of
Iron, Vitamin 9, and Vitamin B 12 in
fortified rice and rice kernels as per the
