The need for Testing Coal?

With the vision and mission to be a trusted partner for quality assurance in the field of testing by providing reliable and accurate results using innovative solutions through affordable analytical testing.

Coal analysis/testing is the most important data for coal producers and users as Identification of the chemical composition of coal has a strong influence on its combustibility. Testing results in a variety of improvements to plant operations, which directly affect the profitability of a coal plant, its ability to meet environmental requirements, and its ability to avoid future economic risks.

It is important to understand that climate change induces climate change. In an era where we are sprinting towards the 6th mass extinction, it is important to draw a fine line between progress and nature.



Independent coal testing agencies play a vital role in coal and coke industries for selecting appropriate markets and industries for the given coal. With the increasing stringent environmental policies, the accuracy of coal analysis results help in optimizing disposal and storages of reject coal, coal slurries, fly ash and slag. A lump of poor quality coal produces NOx, SOx and fly ash in reasonably large quantities as compared to good quality coal, so the pre-treatment before processing and disposal can enhance the economy of the plant. The coal analysis results provided by us, help coal producers and processing industries in deciding the cleaning equipment, parameters, and probable amount of by-products. The optimization of by-products and pollutants not only saves the environment from poisonous hazards also enhances the economy of the plant.

At QA Testing We offer Accurate, Cost-Effective Analysis in Accordance with Indian and International Standards in Coal. We are equipped with the latest & advanced testing Equipment and Facilities with Experienced & Competent Person. Our Coal Analysis Techniques Are Specific analytical methods designed to measure the particular physical and chemical properties of Coal. These methods are primarily to determine the suitability of coal for coking, power generation or for iron ore smelting in the manufacturing of steel, Paper Mills, Cement Industries and many others.

QA Testing Laboratories are following Laboratory Information Management System ( LIMS) within the Organization to Ensure Integrity and Confidentiality of Customers, we are also Implementing Integrated Management System ( ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2017 & ISO/IEC 17025:2017) to maintain a Standardized Process for Internal Quality Assurance. QA testing Laboratories is accredited with Various National and International Bodies such as National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL), Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ).

I along with my team trying hard to do the same with defining coal quality and provide a world of opportunity for the coming generation.
