Notes
017 divisionsOne custodian, seven divisionsMost programmes fragment across three or four vendors, and every handover is a place where context is lost and timelines slip. Here, chemistry, toxicology, ecotoxicology, entomology and microbiology sit inside one building and one quality system.
02OECD MADAccreditation that travelsOECD GLP issued by NGCMA under the Department of Science and Technology means reports are accepted across every country in the OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data framework. NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation covers the technical dimension independently.
03FDA · EMAAn acceptance record, not a promiseReports issued by this laboratory have been submitted to and accepted by the US FDA, the EMA, and agencies in the UK, Japan, China, Brazil and India. Registration work includes India's first nano-fertiliser.
043Rs + RWelfare treated as data qualityAn explicit 3Rs framework — extended with rehabilitation — is not a compliance overlay. A stressed animal is a poor model, and the welfare programme exists because the science depends on it.
0510 yearsEvidence kept for a decadeRaw data, blocks, slides and samples are archived for ten years on RAID servers held both on-site and off-site. A study is only defensible for as long as the material behind it survives.

Quality system
Quality defined. Responsibility documented.
Five commitments guide our work, supporting ethical research, responsible conduct and reliable study delivery.
View quality credentialsPart A — Commitments
05 clauses
- A.1Ethical compliance
- Studies are planned and conducted within applicable ethical frameworks, with required reviews and approvals completed before work begins.
- A.2Animal welfare
- Documented care procedures, veterinary oversight and health monitoring support animal welfare throughout the study.
- A.3Employee safety
- Safe handling procedures, appropriate protective equipment and staff training support the safe management of chemicals and biological materials.
- A.4Data security
- Controlled access, documented backups and organised archiving help protect study data, confidentiality and record traceability.
- A.5Timely completion
- Realistic schedules, progress monitoring and clear communication support study completion within agreed timelines.
Part B — Mechanisms
03 systems
- B.1Test item managementReceipt & traceability
- Documented receipt, identification, storage and handling procedures support test item integrity and traceability throughout each study.
- B.2Data managementSecurity & retention
- Controlled access, regular backups and organised archiving protect study records and support retrieval within agreed retention periods.
- B.3Quality assuranceNABL / ISO/IEC 17025
- Our quality system incorporates NABL accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 within the accredited scope, supported by independent inspections and documented reviews of procedures, records and reports.
Animal welfare
The three Rs, with a commitment to care.
Animal welfare guides study design, daily care and responsible research, with attention to the animals before, during and after each study.
Inside the vivarium- 01
Replacement
Use suitable non-animal methods, including in vitro and in silico approaches, wherever they can meet the study objectives and applicable requirements.
- 02
Refinement
Refine procedures, housing and handling to minimise pain and distress, supported by appropriate care, monitoring and humane endpoints.
- 03
Reduction
Use the minimum number of animals needed to produce scientifically reliable results through sound study design and appropriate analysis.
- 04
Rehabilitation
Consider post-study care and rehabilitation where appropriate, guided by veterinary assessment and applicable ethical requirements.
