THE GOLD STANDARD IN THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION AND TESTING : +1-800-920-6605, info@bscg.org
The BSCG Certified Quality annual certification program designed for retail and consumer protection demonstrates that dietary supplements or other natural products or ingredients meet or exceed industry standards for quality control. Annual testing of products or ingredients verifies ingredient identity and label claims and checks for contaminants like heavy metals, microbiological agents, and pesticides. We also screen for more than 450+ banned substances in sport and other potential drug contaminants.
The BSCG Certified Quality certification program is available to both finished product brands and raw material/ ingredient suppliers. Third party certification ensures that there is transparency with consumers and retailers and builds trust by demonstrating the quality of a product or ingredient. With the Certified Quality program you don't just claim a product meets expectations of quality, you prove it. More importantly you can market it by proudly displaying the blue BSCG Certified Quality seal.
The BSCG Certified Quality program allows companies to represent to end consumers and retailers that products or ingredients meet or exceed dietary supplement quality control requirements and that they are produced according to regional quality control standards like Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Initial certification includes a complete review of the quality control system and practices to ensure compliance with GMP or other regional requirements.
