Eco Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.

What Eco Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. does

Ecological Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. (branded Eco Laboratories) is an India-based consumer-product testing laboratory headquartered in Navi Mumbai, founded in June 1995. The company was established as India's first commercial AZO testing service and has since expanded into a multi-vertical analytical testing platform covering textiles and home textiles, leather and footwear, dyes and textile auxiliaries, food contact materials, toys, electronics (RoHS), cosmetics, and fashion jewellery.

The technical backbone is a NABL-accredited, ISO/IEC 17025-compliant laboratory equipped with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) instruments that allow trace-level detection of restricted substances at ppm and ppb concentrations. Service offerings are organized into three layers: physical and mechanical testing, Restricted Substances List (RSL) analytical chemistry, and regulatory compliance testing and certification covering REACH, CPSIA, California Prop 65, RoHS, GOTS, LWG, AFIRM, and ZDHC frameworks. The firm also offers third-party product inspection and regulatory consultancy/training as adjacent revenue lines.

Revenue is generated on a per-test / per-package transaction basis, with quote-based pricing tied to test parameters, product category, and regulatory standard. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct field sales aimed at Indian manufacturers, exporters, and international retailers needing compliance certifications for Europe, USA, Canada, and Middle Eastern markets. The company operates from three owned offices (Mumbai HQ, Delhi/Noida, Tiruppur) and three sample collection centers (Bangalore, Agra, Kolkata). The visible client roster is anchored by European mid-market fashion brands (Legero, Lerros, Breu, Shoeby, Ulla, Marc, FCUK, Ralph Lauren, BVB Borussia Dortmund, Hecht, Olsen, Loberon), with a stated base of 149 clients and 279 completed cases.
