A buyer’s checklist for ingredient quality documents

A buyer’s checklist for ingredient quality documents

Make a document request that matches the ingredient and supply option you are evaluating.

List the documents you need

Identify the technical specification, COA and declarations required by your team. Ask which documents are available for the particular ingredient and supply source.

Check the scope and reference

Look for the product identity and relevant batch or document reference. For a certificate, check the named organisation, scope and validity information rather than relying on a logo alone.

Record questions clearly

When reviewing a COA, keep the parameter, method, specification and result together. Ask for clarification if units, test methods or batch references are unclear.

Review before committing

Resolve open questions before placing an order. Keep the agreed specification and applicable supporting documents with the purchasing record.
