We offer this guidance to navigate third-party testing lab qualification to help you choose wisely, whichever lab you ultimately decide upon. This choice has enormous ramifications for brands, manufacturers, and suppliers, directly impacting regulatory compliance, product quality, and consumer trust. It’s critical to choose a contract lab with the right expertise and that can function as a true extension of your quality systems. We’ve drawn upon our experience to develop this guidance document, with input from several outside experts we know to be extremely knowledgeable. We intend for this to give suppliers and brands a useful tool for choosing labs that will best support their quality and compliance.
