CERTIFIED DRUG FREE
The gold standard BSCG Certified Drug Free program tests every finished product lot, or monthly for ingredients, for an industry leading 450+ banned substances offering superior quality and anti-doping protection to athletes, military service members, first responders, and consumers. It also includes annual verification of label claims and contaminant testing and an initial quality control and GMP compliance audit.
CERTIFIED QUALITY
The BSCG Certified Quality program is designed for consumer protection and retail compliance. This annual testing program verifies product quality for retailers and consumers. Testing includes label claims, heavy metals, pesticides, microbiological agents and 450+ banned substances. An initial quality control and GMP compliance audit is included. Certified Quality annual testing is not designed for anti-doping protection.
CERTIFIED CBD
The BSCG Certified CBD program for hemp products combines banned substance protection, label claim and contaminant testing, and an initial review of manufacturing quality control and compliance. Every lot is tested for 450+ banned substances and cannabinoids to verify CBD claims and THC limits for drug testing protection. Every tenth lot is screened for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological agents.
CERTIFIED GMP
BSCG Certified GMP is built to verify own label brands comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for dietary supplements, OTC drugs, or cosmetics. The program audits brand level GMP requirements or those that are non-specific between brands and manufacturers. It takes a deep dive into product level compliance including labels, claims, ingredients, and the quality control process. To qualify, manufacturers must be GMP certified.
Certified Facility
The BSCG Certified Facility program conducts onsite audits of manufacturing, packaging, or holding facilities to ensure they are in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for dietary supplements as outlined in 21 CFR 111, ANSI 455-2, or other GMP standards for OTC drugs or cosmetics. We use only highly experienced independent auditors and offer a two year audit cycle for cost effectiveness.
