Tested at intake, certified at exit.

Quality control begins at intake, where incoming lots are checked for moisture, foreign matter and visual defects before they are accepted.

Material passes through mechanical cleaning, gravity separation, colour sorting and, where the grade demands it, manual hand-picking. Finished batches are tested at NABL-accredited laboratories before release.
