Overview
Heavy metals accumulate through soil, water and processing. Testing against FSSAI and Codex limits protects consumers and is mandatory for many spices, nutraceuticals and export consignments.
What we test for
Typical parameters within heavy metal testing include:
- Lead (Pb)
- Arsenic (As)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Tin (Sn)
- Copper (Cu)
- Zinc (Zn)
This list is a starting point. The exact parameters depend on your product, its claims and the regulation you're meeting — we'll confirm them with you before testing.
Products that commonly need this
Heavy Metal Testing is frequently required for these product types:
How coordination works
- We recommend the right parameters for your product and objective
- We coordinate sampling and testing through NABL-accredited partner laboratories
- We benchmark results against the applicable FSSAI, IS or Codex limits
- We interpret the report in plain language with corrective guidance
Frequently asked questions
Which laboratory runs this test?
Testing is coordinated through NABL-accredited partner laboratories. We select the right lab and method for your sample, manage sample logistics, and consolidate the reporting.
Do you help interpret the results?
Yes. Every report comes with a plain-language interpretation against the applicable FSSAI, IS or Codex limits, plus corrective guidance where a parameter is out of specification.
How do I request heavy metal testing?
Request a quote or talk to an expert with your product and objective. We recommend the exact parameters, share timelines and coordinate the testing end to end.
