How batch documentation is published

The steps between a production lot and the report a purchaser can open, verify, and match to a vial label. Written so the process can be audited from the outside.

Research-use scope. This page explains documents and terminology. It is not for use in people or animals, contains no handling or procedural guidance, and does not replace the receiving laboratory's own acceptance criteria.

The chain, step by step

  1. Lot identification. Each production lot receives an identifier (for example BCP-2502-B) that is printed on every vial label from that lot.
  2. Independent analysis. A sample from the lot is submitted to an independent testing laboratory. The laboratory performs the analyses it reports (for published lots, chromatographic purity by HPLC) and issues a certificate with its own certificate number.
  3. Library entry. The report is published in the batch COA library with the product, labeled strength, lot, reported result, test date, certificate number, the PDF, and the laboratory's verification link. Each report also gets its own page (example).
  4. Listing status. The product listing states whether a lot-matched report is currently published. Listings without one say so rather than borrowing a report from another product, strength, or lot.
  5. Verification. A purchaser can confirm the certificate number on the laboratory's verification page and compare the identity, lot, date, and result with the PDF (how to verify).

Rules the library follows

RuleWhat it means in practice
One report, one lotA report is never shown for a different product, strength, or lot than the one it names.
Independent issuerPublished results come from the testing laboratory's certificate, not from an internal summary.
Verification link publishedEvery entry links to the laboratory's own verification page for that certificate number.
Status is explicitA listing without a current report says so on the listing and in the catalog.
Nothing beyond the reportThe site states what the report lists and does not extrapolate to attributes that were not tested.
