Guidelines on Empanelment of Assayers

The Guidelines on Empanelment of Assayers / Assaying agencies or Firms aim to promote well-defined assaying activities in warehouses. These guidelines define the responsibilities and obligations of assayers and outline the process for their empanelment. Here are the key points:

1. Objective:
   • The guidelines seek to ensure accurate and reliable assaying of agricultural and horticultural commodities stored in warehouses.
   • Trained and qualified individuals with expertise in assaying play a crucial role in maintaining quality standards.
2. Empanelment Process:
   • The Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA) proposes to empanel individual assayers and assaying firms.
   • These empanelled assayers will have the necessary licenses for assaying from local authorities.
   • The list of empanelled assayers/assaying firms will be published on the WDRA website.
3. Benefits:
   • Small warehouses, especially those in rural areas, will benefit from having access to certified assayers.
   • Registered warehouses can utilize the services of these empanelled assayers for accurate assessment and certification of deposited goods.
