The Quality Assurance (QA) Laboratory of CHAMUL is an analytical facility located within the dairy premises. It operates under a Quality Management System (QMS) based on ISO 22000:2018 and is certified with FSSC 22000 Version 6.0, ensuring operational integrity, accuracy, and confidentiality in all its activities.

Equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and supported by qualified technical personnel, the CHAMUL QA Laboratory provides a wide range of reliable and precise analytical services in the field of milk and dairy products.

To maintain and enhance analytical competence, CHAMUL QA regularly participates in Proficiency Testing (PT) programmes conducted at both national and international levels. The laboratory also implements a robust internal quality control programme to verify the accuracy of its analytical methodologies, including in-house quality checks at various stages of analysis.

At Chamul, quality isn’t a checkbox — it’s a commitment. Every drop of milk we process is handled with precision, safety, and care to ensure it meets the highest standards.

During the last ten years, the Chamarajanagara Milk Union Ltd. (CHAMUL) has placed greater emphasis on procuring quality milk from Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs) under the concept of “Quality Excellence from Cow to Consumer.”
Many Clean Milk Production (CMP) initiatives have been implemented at all stages of procurement, processing, and marketing. Among these CMP initiatives, a noteworthy one is the establishment of Community Milking Parlours in villages.

CHAMUL has been a forerunner in introducing this innovative technological initiative, bringing about a revolutionary improvement in the quality of milk collected from DCSs. This system offers several advantages, such as the elimination of mastitis in milch animals and the enhancement of productivity.

The milk obtained through milking machines and collected via Automatic Computerized Milk Collection Units is directly chilled in Bulk Milk Coolers (BMCs). This chilled raw milk, untouched and unadulterated by human hands, possesses exceptionally high microbiological quality—comparable to international standards.

Such high-quality milk is utilized for manufacturing premium value-added milk products, catering to both domestic and international markets.
