Key Amazon Certificate of Analysis (COA) Requirements
An Amazon-compliant COA must include several key elements:
Nutritional Content
Detailed analysis of the supplement’s nutritional makeup, ensuring that the contents match the product labeling.
Product Identification
The COA should clearly state the complete product name, along with its batch number, which is vital for tracking and quality assurance purposes.
Analytical Method Details
This includes a description of the methods and techniques used in testing the product. Amazon requires validated methods performed by an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory.
Prohibited Substances Check
A crucial part of the COA is verifying that the supplement does not contain any of the substances that Amazon has explicitly forbidden for certain supplement categories (e.g., weight loss, sports nutrition, sexual enhancement).
