01 · Materials and specifications
Define raw-material identity, ingredient specifications, supplier documentation and incoming checks. Align the formula and acceptance criteria before material procurement.
Quality, connected to your product and batch.
A practical quality plan covers materials, process controls, finished-product testing and documented release. Agree the scope before production begins.
02 · Manufacturing controls
Define the production instructions and the checks relevant to the format: blending, fill weight or volume, appearance, packaging integrity and batch identification. Record changes against the approved specification.
03 · Finished-product testing
Build the test plan around the product and destination market. Discuss identity and assay, microbiological limits, heavy metals, stability and other relevant parameters. Confirm the method, acceptance limit and responsible laboratory for each test.
04 · Documentation and release
Connect the approved specification, batch identifiers, test results and packaging version. Agree which records must be reviewed and who is responsible for release before the shipment milestone.
- Manufacturing entity and site details
- Applicable certification scope and validity
- Approved product specification
- Agreed testing scope and methods
- Batch-specific certificate of analysis
- Packaging, coding and shipment records
OEM / ODM
Common project questions
Are all tests performed in-house?
The laboratory and testing responsibility are specified for the project. Where an external laboratory is needed, its scope and reporting requirements are agreed as part of the test plan.
Does a facility certificate cover every product?
A certificate applies to its stated entity, site and scope. Product formulation, label, claims and destination-market requirements need their own review.
Can we review a sample COA?
Request the relevant document package with the product and market you are considering. A sample report explains the document structure; the shipment record must identify the actual batch.
