The food authority has issued an order superseding the previous order about FSSAl’s certificate to the Rapid Analytical Food Testing (RAFT) kits /equipment /methods for use in both screening and surveillance purpose.
According to the FSSAI, a Certificate of Conformance is subsequently issued to the applicant which is valid for a period of three years from the date of issue after the RAFT kit is approved.
Now it has been decided that the applicants may use "RAFT Logo" (as approved by the FSSAI) along with certificate number, validity period and "barcode of the certificate" on the approved RAFT kits /equipment /methods. In case of a kit can be used for multiple parameters, but approval was given for only one or few parameters, the applicants are now required to put a disclaimer - "The ......... ... (name of RAFT kit/equipment/method) has been approved by FSSAI (RAFT) only for testing of ..... (list of approved parameters) in .........( list of approved food categories/matrices)".
Satyen K Panda, advisor, QA, FSSAI, said, "The applicants should ensure that Certificate number and validity must be as mentioned on the certificate."
