FAQ
Is this the complete NEDL 2025 test list?
No. It summarises planning groups. Use the official ICMR document for every test and note.
Can a private laboratory use this tool?
Yes, as a planning comparison for test-menu, referral or public-sector collaboration discussions.
Does selecting a group prove every test is available?
No. Confirm method, equipment, staff, QC, biosafety and referral test by test.
Does alignment guarantee FDSI or public contracts?
No. Contracting, programme and state requirements are separate.
How should I use missing areas?
Create a scoped review of demand, equipment, reagents, staff, quality, referral and cost.
