Overview

Why Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Saudi Arabia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Saudi Arabia accepts the MEA apostille, so no Saudi Embassy step is needed. Only the current MEA apostille with a QR code is accepted by Saudi authorities, not the older apostille format.

Process

The Saudi Arabia process for an Indian certificate of analysis

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the certificate of analysis and any list your buyer or authority in Saudi Arabia gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the certificate of analysis or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the certificate of analysis.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille with a QR code, the only format Saudi authorities accept.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

  • Matching invoice or product registration reference
  • Certified Arabic translation, if the authority in Saudi Arabia asks (we arrange it)
  • Original certificate of analysis for each batch
  • Laboratory accreditation details, if the buyer asks

Avoid rejection

  • Some regulators want the COA from an accredited lab; check before testing.
