TUV India, subsidiary of the German TÜV NORD Group, has established a new advanced laboratory for the testing of agricultural and processed food materials, animal feed, and pharmaceutical and cosmetic products at Pune.
Dr. Guido Rettig, Chairman of the Board of TÜV NORD, inaugurated TUV India’s state-of-the-art laboratory and office that houses some of the most advanced analytical equipment in the world, and announced the launching of a “Centre of Excellence for Food Safety”.
Vowing support to local industry and regulators to meet global standards, Guido Rettig said that the centre will help Indian exporters access markets worldwide through ethical, reliable and world-class testing, certification and training services, and offer end to end solutions from the `farm to fork’.
Anil Rairikar, Managing Director, TUVIndia said, “With the implementation of the new Food Safety & Standards Act, Indian industry needs the services of accredited, third-party testing laboratories more than ever before. Globally, food safety concerns go much beyond routine quality testing, and products are now tested for safety aspects like pesticide residues, toxins, dioxins, antibiotic & hormone residues etc, which requires very sophisticated capabilities. TUV India is confident of fulfilling this need through its NABL, APEDA, FSSAI and AGMARK approved laboratory. The laboratory will shortly also be seeking EIC, BIS, FDA AND German QS approvals, amongst others.”
