Subject: Testing of outside samples by Revenue Laboratories-reg.
Madam/Sir,
Central Revenues Control Laboratories (CRCL), assist the field formations in chemical
analysis of samples of various trade commodities to enable appropriate assessment of duties.
These laboratories also assist in enforcement of Customs Act, NDPS Act, GST Laws, Central
Excise Act and other allied Acts including for the purpose of environment protection, food
safety etc.
2. The Revenue Laboratories have been extensively modernized over past 03 years with the
induction of state-of-the-art equipment and improvement of physical infrastructure. New
man-power has also been inducted at the cutting-edge levels in Group 'A', Group 'B' and
Group 'C'. Eight (08) of these laboratories have obtained NABL Accreditation, as per ISO/IEC
17025:2017, for defined scope from March, 2019 onwards. The CRCL, New Delhi; Custom
House Laboratory, Mumbai; JNCH Laboratory, Nhava Sheva; Custom House Laboratory,
Chennai; Custom House Laboratory, Cochin; Custom House Laboratory, Visakhapatnam;
Custom House Laboratory, Kandla and C.Ex & Customs Laboratory, Vadodara are having
NABL accreditation.
3. CRCL laboratories are now equipped to test samples which are hitherto forwarded to
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), Central Drug Standard and Control
Organization (CDSCO) and Textile Committee in order to improve proficiency, ensure
optimum utilization of equipment and other resources. Therefore, here is now an opportunity
for Revenue laboratories for optimum utilization of the upgraded facilities, especially with
state-of-the art instruments and to cater to the needs of these agencies with respect to the
samples drawn at the customs area. Using CRCL by these agencies will not only help in
optimal use of the available equipment but also reduce the dwell time.
Contd .. on pg-2.

4. Accordingly, the Board prescribes the following guidelines:
(i) As Revenue Laboratories can deal with the samples related to Drug Controller, FSSAI
& Textile Committee, all the customs samples, are preferably be tested in the
Revenue Laboratories only.
(ii) In case facility to test particular commodity or parameter is not available in the
nearest Revenue Laboratory, such cases shall be referred to the nearest government
laboratory where such facility is available.
(iii) CRCL, New Delhi shall also function as Referral Laboratory along with other referral
laboratories in Pharma, Textile & Food.
(iv) Whenever CRCL laboratories are not in a position to carry out a test, they shall make
use of nearest CDSCO/FSSAI approved laboratories/Textile Committee.
5. Keeping in view the above position, the relevant Custom House Laboratories are mapped
with different Ports as per Annexure-A. Facilities available at CRCL, New Delhi as Referral
Laboratory in Food testing are listed at Annexure-B.
6. Further, Revenue Laboratories are not equipped to test samples related to Animal
Quarantine (AQCS), Plant Quarantine (PQCS) and Wild Life Crime Control Bureau (WCCB).
Hence, the existing arrangements could continue in this regard.
7. The field formations under your jurisdiction may be sensitized suitably.
8. Any difficulty in implementing this circular may kindly be brought to the notice of the
Board.
