"Not Detected" means the laboratory performed the test and did not detect the specified substance above the reported detection limit for the test method used.
It does not mean the test was skipped or omitted. For example, the laboratory specifically tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, antimony, and chromium, and each was reported as Not Detected above the laboratory's reported detection limit.
Independent Laboratory Testing

The International Accreditation Service (IAS) is an independent, internationally recognized accreditation body.
