Why Qatar asks for a legalised certificate of analysis
A certificate of analysis (COA) reports the test results for a batch of product against its specification. Regulators and buyers abroad use it to check quality for registration samples, tenders and each consignment. The certificate of analysis is issued by the manufacturer's quality control department or an accredited testing laboratory for a specific batch.
Health ministries in the Middle East register a large number of Indian generic medicines each year, and their registration files almost always include legalised regulatory certificates from India.
In Qatar, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Ministry of Public Health. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for registration samples for regulators, batch release for each shipment and tender quality compliance.
A certificate of analysis issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Qatar in New Delhi.
After Qatar Embassy legalisation in New Delhi, Qatari authorities generally also want the document attested by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival, which your Qatari partner arranges locally.
