Dear Clients,

To improve your experience, four Labs within Mérieux NutriSciences China, namely Beijing, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, enhanced CoA (Certificates of Analysis, Testing Reports) authenticity by two additional ways recently:

Applying paging seal for electronic CoAs since 9 May 2022,

Applying QR Code for both electronic and hard copy CoAs since 20 June 2022.

With these upgrading, our measures for CoA authenticity are further extended:

• Electronic CoAs: the opened PDF file displays a digital signature and a valid verification;
• Hard Copy CoAs: printed on the unique CoA letterhead;
• Both electronic and hard copy CoAs are with the authorised signatory’s signature; the authorised Testing Service Seals which include two kinds of seals, the circular seal one being stamped at the first page and/or the testing conclusion, the rectangle one being stamped crossing all pages; and QR Code which could be scanned to access and download the original CoA by the user.

The upgraded CoA template and authenticity measures are illustrated as follows:

With these upgrade, you could scan the QR code, access and download the original CoA, and could determine the authenticity of obtained CoA more visually and efficiently.
