Why South Korea 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.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In South Korea, a legalised certificate of analysis is typically requested for registration samples for regulators; it is also used for 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 Korea accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
