This is to bring to the attention of all concerned that some of the FSSAl notified laboratories perform dual roles (i.e. one particular laboratory is notified both and Referral laboratory as Primary u/s 43.1 & 43.2 of FSS Act, 2006). In this regards, it is clarified that a laboratory can either function of a Primary Laboratory or a Referral laboratory for a single sample i.e. If a laboratory has tested a sample as a Primary laboratory then the appeal against the test results of that particular sample will not be entertained by the same laboratory, irrespective of the fact that the same laboratory is playing the role of a Referral laboratory as well. The same sample will invariably be sent to another Referral Laboratory as per the testing capability and scope of that Referral laboratory. The above is communicated to all the concerned to avoid any confusion/anomalies.
