Overview

Why South Africa 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.

Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.

In South Africa, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by SAHPRA. 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. South Africa accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

The South Africa 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 South Africa 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, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return

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

What to send us

  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Original certificate of analysis for each batch
  • Matching invoice or product registration reference
  • Laboratory accreditation details, if the buyer asks

Avoid rejection

  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Batch number, product name and dates must match the invoice and labels.
  • Use the final signed COA, not a draft report.
  • Some regulators want the COA from an accredited lab; check before testing.
