Certificates of Analysis

要点

A certificate of analysis is a lot-specific record of tested parameters, methods and results; a generic or typical-values sheet is a marketing document, not a certificate.

What a usable certificate contains

Producer and site identification, the exact lot or batch reference, production date, sampling date and plan, each parameter with its analytical method and result, the laboratory that performed the work, and an authorised signature. Anything missing narrows what the document can support in a dispute.

Typical values are not results

Documents headed 'typical analysis' describe a product family, not the cargo in front of you. They are useful for formulation planning and useless for acceptance decisions and claims.

Tie the certificate to the delivered lot

The lot number on the certificate must match the marks on the delivered cargo or the bulk parcel identification. Without traceable linkage, the certificate cannot be attributed to what arrived.

確認すべき事項

  • Lot-specific reference matching the delivered cargo
  • Analytical method named per parameter
  • Sampling date and sampling plan
  • Laboratory identity and accreditation scope
  • Authorised signature and issuing entity

主なリスク

  • Accepting a family-level document as lot evidence
  • Certificates issued long before the shipment date
  • Parameters certified by methods that do not match the contract

よくある誤り

  • Filing certificates without checking them against the contract specification
  • Not retaining certificates with the corresponding retained sample

よくある質問

Is a supplier's in-house laboratory acceptable?

It can be, when the laboratory participates in proficiency testing and the parameters are non-critical. For safety parameters and high-value contracts, independent accredited verification is the stronger position.
