History
Quality begins and ends with analysis, worldwide. Control and inspection at every stage of manufacture is today a pre requisite for any industry. And analysis has come to play a significant part in systematic implementation of certain standards that ensure customers’ confidence and satisfaction.
India today has joined that ranks of world-class industrialised nations. And a key part of the national growth plan is to achieve international standards of excellence in all industrial and allied operations.
Independent analytical expertise therefore has come to occupy a position of priority in the overall scheme of things. The task is enormous considering the speed and diversity of India’s technological and economic progress.
