NICP, based in Bhopal, is a trusted water testing reagents manufacturer in India, supplying analytical-grade reagents to quality-control laboratories since 2019.

NICP produces titrants and volumetric solutions, pH buffer solutions, indicator reagents, and analytical-grade chemicals used across a wide range of water testing methods.

NICP supplies analytical-grade (AR) reagents of high purity, formulated for precise, reproducible results in laboratory water analysis.

Even minor impurities can shift readings and compromise compliance. High-purity reagents ensure accurate, defensible results — which is why NICP controls quality from raw material selection through final batch verification.

Yes. NICP offers bulk and custom reagent supply, with volumes and packaging formats tailored to a laboratory's workflow.

Yes. NICP can prepare custom formulations and concentrations to match specific testing methods or laboratory requirements. Share your specification with the team for a quote.

Yes. NICP's analytical reagents are produced under ISO-certified processes suitable for use in laboratories operating to NABL and ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.

Reagents are packaged to preserve stability and purity, and dispatched from Bhopal to laboratories across India. Contact NICP for packaging sizes and shipping timelines.

Shelf life varies by product and is stated on each reagent's label and documentation. Store as directed to maintain performance up to the marked expiry.

Contact NICP by phone or WhatsApp at +91-7999584267 with your reagent list, grade, and volume. The team will confirm availability, pricing, and delivery.

CRMs are substances with precisely known, certified property values and a stated measurement uncertainty. They are used to calibrate instruments and validate testing methods so that laboratory results are accurate and traceable.

Without a CRM, a lab has no independent way to confirm that its method, instrument, and analyst are producing correct results. Measuring a CRM and getting the expected value proves the whole testing chain is performing correctly.

NICP, based in Bhopal, supplies certified reference materials for water testing to quality-control laboratories across India.

A CRM carries certified property values with documented uncertainty and traceability, backed by a certificate. A reference material (RM) is a rung below — useful for quality checks but without the same certified traceability.

Yes. Every NICP CRM is supplied with a certificate of analysis stating the certified value, measurement uncertainty, and intended use — the documentation auditors require.

NICP's CRMs are prepared with traceability in mind, aligned to ISO 17034 requirements, so your results can be traced back to a competent, documented source.

Yes. If a standard CRM does not match your testing procedure, NICP can advise on suitable options or custom standards. Share your parameter, matrix, and concentration range.

Store each CRM as stated on its certificate and label to preserve its certified value. Improper storage can compromise stability and invalidate the certified value.

NICP's CRMs are prepared in line with ISO 17034 requirements to support laboratories maintaining NABL and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Confirm scope specifics with the NICP team.

Match the CRM to your parameter, matrix, and measurement range. NICP's team can recommend the correct reference material based on the tests you run — contact them with your method details.

NICP is a Bhopal-based reference material producer supporting NABL-accredited laboratories, with CRM production aligned to ISO 17034 requirements. Contact NICP for current accreditation certificates and scope.

ISO 17034:2016 is the international standard specifying the general requirements for the competence of reference material producers (RMPs). It covers characterisation, homogeneity, stability studies, and uncertainty estimation.

ISO 17034 applies to producers of reference materials, while ISO/IEC 17025 applies to testing and calibration laboratories. In India, NABL accredits both — RMPs under ISO 17034 and testing labs under ISO/IEC 17025.

NABL is India's National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It accredits testing labs (ISO/IEC 17025), reference material producers (ISO 17034), proficiency testing providers (ISO/IEC 17043), and medical labs (ISO 15189).

Because it assures a documented, technically valid production process — giving your water testing results a defensible traceability chain that holds up during audits and accreditation assessments.

Yes. NICP operates under ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) certified processes.

Sourcing traceable standards from a competent producer strengthens your accreditation file — auditors can trace your reported results back to a documented, recognised source.

Yes. Contact NICP for its current certificates and accreditation scope so you can verify compliance for your own audit records.

NICP products support water testing against Indian standards such as IS 10500 (drinking water), IS 3025 (test methods), and CPCB discharge norms, as well as WHO reference guidance.

NABL is a signatory to ILAC and APAC mutual recognition arrangements, which support international acceptance of results derived using standards from NABL-recognised producers. Confirm specifics with NICP for your target market.

NICP products support drinking water, groundwater, industrial process water, wastewater, and environmental water testing — anywhere labs need reliable reagents and reference standards.

NICP reagents support common parameters such as pH, hardness, alkalinity, chloride, and other chemical parameters measured through titrimetric and colorimetric methods.
