What a Certificate of Analysis does
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) records specified test results or characteristics for the material or product it covers. The exact tests and issuing party depend on the ingredient, product and quality system.
Documentation is project-specific
Do not assume that a logo, accreditation claim or generic certificate on a marketing page proves the documentation for your specific batch. Ask what applies to your actual product and retain the records you need.
