Quality documents

Quality and compliance for bulk salt orders

Use this checklist to match the required product grade, licence, test report, batch, packing and dispatch documents to your actual order.

Match the standard to the ordered product

IS 797 provides a reference for common salt used by chemical industries, while IS 7224:2006 covers iodized, vacuum evaporated iodized and refined iodized salt. A supplier can explain those standards without every catalogue lot automatically conforming to every grade or product type.

Name the applicable standard or contractual parameters in the purchase order. The quotation or order confirmation should identify the offered product, and the buyer can request the appropriate batch documents before dispatch.

Industrial-salt document checklist

Choose the documents and testing process to match the application. A low-risk trial may need a supplier certificate and retained sample; a critical chemical process may need an independent laboratory, witnessed sampling or an agreed dispute procedure.

  • Product name, source and dispatch location
  • Agreed parameter table and test method
  • Lot or batch identification
  • Certificate of analysis for the offered lot
  • Weighment and packing details
  • Inspection, sampling and rejection rule
  • Transport document and delivery basis

Edible iodized-salt document checklist

Food purchases add licensing, iodization, packaging, labelling and traceability responsibilities. FSSAI guidance states that common salt for direct human consumption or use as a food ingredient is generally required to be iodized, subject to stated exemptions.

Verify the current food-business licence and the roles of manufacturer, packer, relabeller or brand owner for the actual transaction. Review the final label and lot documents rather than relying on an old brochure or screenshot.

  • Applicable FSSAI licence and product scope
  • Product type and IS 7224 reference where contracted
  • Iodine and other agreed test results
  • Batch coding and traceability
  • Food-grade pack declaration and artwork approval
  • Net quantity, best-before and storage declarations
  • Invoice, HSN and dispatch documents

How India Salt uses official sources

Where this site quotes an official standard or tax entry, it links the primary government source and explains the context. Company, licence, plant and batch documents are matched to the specific order.

The catalogue and guides help buyers prepare the requirement. The signed quotation, purchase order and applicable quality documents then record the final order terms.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked questions

Does linking IS 797 mean every India Salt product is Grade I?

No. IS 797 is a procurement reference. State the required grade in the RFQ and confirm it in the quotation and batch documents.

How should I check an FSSAI licence?

Ask which company and premises will manufacture or pack the order, obtain the licence number and check it through the current FoSCoS/FSSAI public search.

Can I request a certificate of analysis?

Include the certificate and test parameters in the RFQ. Availability, test method, laboratory and lot linkage should be confirmed before dispatch.
