- Third-party testing is only meaningful when the testing laboratory is genuinely independent from the manufacturer. In the US market, researchers can verify lab independence by checking the testing facility’s accreditation number and confirming it operates at a separate address under separate ownership from the manufacturer. ISO 17025 accreditation is publicly searchable through the relevant accrediting bodies.
- Overseas testing arrangements are often harder to verify. A COA issued by a “third-party lab” that operates within the same facility or corporate group as the manufacturer does not provide the same quality assurance as genuine independent testing. In the US vs China peptides comparison, this structural independence question is a frequent point of concern for researchers who rely on COAs for experimental validity.
