Growsian Agro coordinates certificate of analysis within a documented export supply programme. For each order, the relevant product, operator, lot, evidence and destination requirements are aligned before dispatch.
Certification and quality evidence must match the exact product, operator, activity, lot, shipment and destination. A logo or certificate shown out of context is not enough to prove eligibility for every order.

What a certificate of analysis reports
A certificate of analysis (COA) is a laboratory document that reports the results of specified tests on a defined sample. It typically identifies the product, the sample or lot reference, the parameters tested, the methods used, the results and reporting units, and the date and laboratory. A COA answers “what did this sample measure against these parameters?” — nothing more.
Common parameters
Depending on the product and the buyer’s requirement, a COA may report physical parameters (moisture, purity, foreign matter, particle size or grade), compositional or active parameters, and safety parameters (residues, microbiology, heavy metals or mycotoxins) where those tests were requested. The parameters and limits are those the buyer specified; a COA does not invent acceptance criteria.
Sample basis versus lot conformity
A COA reflects the sample that was tested. A representative sample supports a reasonable judgement about the lot, but it does not guarantee that every unit conforms, and a COA for one lot does not prove that future lots will match. Agree whether acceptance is based on a representative sample, a composite, or shipment-lot testing.
A COA is not an organic certificate
A COA reports test results; it does not evaluate the production and handling system, and it does not prove organic certification. Organic status is established by the operator’s certification and the certified chain, not by a laboratory result. A clean COA on a non-certified product does not make it organic, and a valid organic certificate does not remove the need for the technical tests the buyer requires. See the COA versus specification guide.
