Compliance testing
What is regulatory compliance testing?
Regulatory compliance testing is the laboratory testing of a product against the standards and limits set by a regulator or export authority, such as FSSAI, APEDA, EIC, IOPEPC or BIS, to show it can be legally sold or exported.
Accurate Universal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. is recognised by FSSAI, APEDA, EIC and IOPEPC and tests against BIS standards, so food businesses and exporters can complete most of their compliance testing in one place.
