What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) functions as a comprehensive evaluation for a product. It offers detailed insights into the composition, quality, and purity of a substance or item. Essentially, it serves as validation of whether a product meets specific benchmarks, such as purity thresholds, potency levels, and the absence of impurities. Commonly likened to a report card, the COA is pivotal in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, where ensuring product safety and uniformity is paramount.
Why is it significant?
In various sectors, including those dealing with Cannabis and Hemp Products, a COA holds immense importance. With the expanding legalization of cannabis and hemp-based products, COAs serve as critical tools in confirming the potency, purity, and safety of extracts, oils, and related items. They are instrumental in maintaining product uniformity and adherence to regulatory standards within this swiftly evolving industry landscape.
