German term or phrase: Betriebslabor

In a company testing specification, the term "Betriebslabor" appears in the context: Zur Bestimmung der Kornverteilung mittels Luftstrahlsiebung gelten folgende Prüfvorschriften: 4564 Betriebslabor Pharma, Betriebslabor Kasein, Betriebslabor Food; 22603 Chemisch/physikalishes Hauptlabor.

It appears that it contrasts with "Hauptlabor" used in the same segment.

If I use "Main Laboratory" for "Hauptlabor" what would be a suitalb erendering for "Betriebslabor"?
Thanks very much!

or, if you cannot, you might just go with Plant Lab

You may even wish to use specialized lab, local plant lab, depending on how it is used.
