Overview of Ayurvedic & Herbal Product Testing

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: D&C Rules & Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia
Typical turnaround: 10–15 working days
Sample needed: 250 g or 3 retail packs

Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani (ASU) drugs are licensed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules, and must meet the quality standards of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India and its sister pharmacopoeias where a monograph exists. Manufacturers test raw herbs, intermediates and finished products, and the rules require testing in an approved laboratory where the unit has no in-house facility.

Safety parameters matter most for export and for the reputation of the sector: heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), aflatoxins, pesticide residues and microbial limits. Products made with metals or minerals by traditional processes, such as bhasmas, are tested against their own standards.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same product be sold as Ayurvedic and as a food supplement?

No. A product is either an ASU drug under the AYUSH licensing system or a food under FSSAI, depending on its ingredients, dose and claims. The category decides the tests, the licence and the label.

Will regulators and buyers accept the report?

Testing is done in NABL-accredited labs, and where a licence requires it, in labs approved under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules. We confirm the requirement for your licence, tender or buyer before testing.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
